Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine level of perception and performance of privacy protection behavior of anesthesia and operating room (OR) nurses for patients who underwent general anesthesia surgery. Methods: Data collection was conducted from August 2020 to January 2021 for a total of 101 participants, consisting of 49 patients and 52 nurses. Independent t-test and Pearson's correlation were conducted using SPSS 21. Results: Anesthesia and OR nurses showed the highest score in patient privacy, followed by patient information management, body privacy, and the lowest score in communication. There was a significant difference between the patient information and the communication. Conclusion: Anesthesia and OR nurses had the highest level of perception and performance of patient privacy protection behavior for body privacy, and the lowest for communication. In addition, there was a significant difference in patient information management and communication. In order to protect the privacy of patients undergoing general anesthesia surgery, efforts are needed to learn standardized nursing knowledge, attitudes, and practice.
