Abstract

This study aimed to identify the relationship between the awareness of employees in medical institutes on the protection of medical information and their practice, and basic data of the development of a protection policy is presented. The subjects of the study were 433 employees of general hospitals located in G city and they were interviewed to ascertain their awareness of the protection of medical information and their practice level. The collected data was analysed with a t-test, a dispersion analysis, a Pearson analysis, and a multi-regression analysis. The mean scores on the awareness of protection of medical information was $4.0{\pm}0.7$, and that for the proficiency level was $3.7{\pm}0.7$. As a relevant factor for awareness and proficiency, education in medical information protection was significantly related to awareness. Education experience in medical information protection and the daily mean number of patients in hospitals had a significant relationship with scores on awareness.
