Privacy in Perinatal Services: A Qualitative Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Objectives:This aim of this study is to investigate the perceptions of privacy of mothers who received perinatal care and health professionals who provided these services. Methods:A qualitative content analysis method was used to explore the perceptions of privacy of mothers receiving perinatal care and health professionals providing these services. The study was conducted with 20 pregnant or postpartum women and 15 health professionals. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews. The sample size was determined when data saturation was reached through the purposeful sampling method. Results:The perception of privacy did not change for the mothers who benefited from perinatal services or for the health professionals, especially nurses who provided these services. Conclusions:The mothers and health professionals actually spoke a common language, but health professionals lack some skills in terms of practice. Patient privacy is an important issue that must always be addressed vigorously.
