NURS FPX 6616 Assessment 2 Summary Report on Rural Health Care and Affordable Solutions Conclusion

In conclusion, the study showed that although health professionals have a generally positive understanding of patient confidentiality, their attitudes toward it are restricted. The sex of the respondents, training in medical ethics, and the numerous ethical conundrums they encountered were all strongly correlated determinants of health professionals’ awareness of patient confidentiality. Similarly, medical ethics training, direct patient contact, patient visits, and the number of ethical difficulties encountered all played a substantial role in how health professionals felt about patient confidentiality. Continuous medical ethics training before and during employment may help health practitioners appreciate and respect patient confidentiality.
