Development of an International Scale of Patient Privacy Information Using an Online Network Forum

维护和尊重患者的尊严和隐私是护士非常重要的伦理关切和义务。尊严关注的是人们对自己和他人的价值的感受、思考和行为。尊严还包括隐私权的概念。我们进行了调查，以开发出一个有效和可靠的量表，可以从尊严和隐私的角度衡量患者的护理需求和满意度。首先，我们开发了日语版的天平。其次，我们在新加坡使用修订后的版本进行了调查，评估了患者在尊严方面的需求和满意度。然后，我们在英国使用了进一步修订的版本进行了调查。国际患者尊严量表(IPDS)是基于从这些调查中获得的数据创建的，其中包括五个项目：1)尊重人类；2)尊重个人感受和时间；3)尊重隐私；4)尊重正义和公平；5)尊重自主。

Preserving and respecting patient dignity and privacy are very important ethical concerns and obligations for nurses. Dignity is concerned with how people feel, think and behave in relation to the value of themselves and others. Dignity also includes the concept of the privacy. We conducted surveys to develop a valid and reliable scale that could measures patients' care needs and satisfaction from the perspective of dignity and privacy. First, we developed a Japanese version of the scale. Second, we conducted the survey in Singapore using the revised version that assessed patient demand and satisfaction in terms of dignity. We then conducted survey using a further revised version in the UK. The International Patient Dignity Scale, iPDS, was created based on the data obtained from these surveys, which included five items: 1) respect as a human being; 2) respect for personal feelings and time; 3) respect for privacy; 4) respect for justice and fairness; and 5) respect for autonomy.
