“…24 Getting permission before the examination was reported by only 45.5% of the participants, in Dehghani's study, but 64.7% did not touch if not necessary. 28 On contrary, only 4% of participants in Zirak et al study reported the covering of certain areas of the body when not strictly necessary, 24 and in Adib-Hajbagheri and Zehtabchi study patients stated that exposing of patients' body in presence of the other people not strictly belonging to staff was mentioned by 70.3% of participants. 20 In Aghajani and Dehghan Nayeri's study most of the cases reported providing care by male and female staff for male and female patients, respectively.…”

Respecting human privacy creates holistic patient-oriented care. The aim of this study was to determine the hospitalized patients' viewpoints concerning their privacy observance. This descriptive, analytic and cross-sectional research administered on 370 patients that selected through the random-stratified sampling in an educational hospital in the Khorramabad in Iran in 2013-2014. Data collected by a questionnaire regarding observance of the patients' privacy by hospital staff, including physical-corporeal, psycho-mental, and informational domains. Data were gathered through constructed interview and analyzed with Independent t-test, One-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation statistical tests. The human privacy of the patients and its physical-corporeal and informational domains were sometimes observed, while the psycho-mental domain was often respected. The privacy observance was significantly lower for men (p=0.000), patients in the emergency department (p=0.000), and the patients who spoke with a local accent (p= 0.016). It seems necessary to train and reinforce the health care providers to respect patients' physical-corporeal and informational privacy consciously, to observe male patients' privacy and using better interpersonal communication skills in dealing with non-Persian language patients. It also seems the structure and design of emergency departments need to be revised in order to protect the privacy of the patients.

“…The scores ranged between 21 and 63, while a higher score indicated more positive attitude. The overall score was divided into three levels of negative (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35), moderate (36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49), and positive attitude (50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63). The scoring of the third to seventeenth questions was done inversely.…”

“…Nurse-patient gender difference as well as mixed gender wards can endanger the privacy of patients. 45 Dehghani et al 46 reported that patient's privacy was observed at average level, indicating lack of attention to patient's privacy in medical centers. Female patients were more sensitive than males to observance of the physical dimension, avoidance of unnecessary touches, and maintenance of privacy.…”

“…Female patients were more sensitive than males to observance of the physical dimension, avoidance of unnecessary touches, and maintenance of privacy. 46,47 Receiving care from a nurse of the opposite gender increased the possibility of violating patient privacy. 38 Therefore, special measures should be adopted to provide at least patient private care by a nurse of the same gender.…”

Background:The imbalance in nurse-to-patient ratio and limited physical space may lead to care provision by a nurse of the opposite gender. On the other hand, the relationship with the opposite gender in Iran is limited due to cultural and religious beliefs. The aim of this study was to investigate patients' attitudes toward receiving care from the opposite gender nurse. Material and Method:This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on 200 patients admitted to different hospital wards. The patients were recruited using convenience sampling. Data collection tools comprised of a demographic questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS (version 16) and running descriptive statistics (i.e., χ 2 , independent t test, and linear regression analysis).Results: Male and female patients had 31.8% and 42.6% negative attitudes toward receiving care from the opposite gender, respectively, indicating a statistically significant difference (p = .05). Patients' attitudes had a significant and positive relationship with age, level of education, and experience of receiving care from a nurse of the opposite gender. Conclusion:A significant percentage of patients had a negative attitude toward receiving care from the opposite-gender nurse. Since people's attitudes affect their relationships, it is necessary to provide conditions for assigning the same gender nurse for patients and improving patients' attitudes toward nurses of the opposite gender.

“…The results of studies conducted in this area indicated that students are constantly focused on proper procedures and routine responsibilities and are less concerned with dealing with patients' needs and concerns, which are part of the patient safety concept (37). A possible reason is that less clinical education focuses on patient-centered care values and provides inadequate training on person-centered skills (32).…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explain students' experiences regarding professionalism training using hidden curriculum. Methods: This study was carried out through content analysis, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 6th and 8th semester undergraduate students of surgical technology. The participants were entered into the study using the purposive sampling method and each individual interview lasted for about 35-45 minutes. Semi-structured questions were used to conduct the interviews and then follow-up and exploratory questions were used to clarify the concept and to deepen the interview process. Results: Overall, 358 primary codes and the two main themes of observing patient rights and professional accountability were extracted. The theme of observing patient rights includes three sub-themes, including observing patient privacy, respect for patient's dignity and patient safety, and the theme of professional accountability comprised the three sub-themes of compliance with professional standards, professional communication and instructor as ethics teacher. Conclusions: Professors' familiarity with the training and development of professionalism among medical students, and attention to the role of hidden curriculum in the formulation of values, norms and behaviors regarding professionalism is suggested.
