AB  - PURPOSE: This study aims to determine obstetric and gynecologic (OBGY) nurses' 
      perception and performance propecting patients' privacy, and to contribute to 
      develop educational program and improve the quality of nursing care. METHODS: 206 
      OBGY nurses in 6 hospitals using an electronic medical record or an order 
      communicating system were chosen by convenience sampling and agreed to 
      participate in the study. The questionnaire, explored 4 domains of privacy: 
      direct nursing, linked business, patient information management, communication 
      with relatives. RESULTS: Perception and performance of protecting patient privacy 
      averaged 4.29 (of 5) and 3.55 (of 5), respectively. Most nurses (94.2%) 
      recognized the importance of protecting patient privacy, 80.1% received patient 
      privacy education. There was a distinct difference between the perception and 
      performance of protecting patient privacy of nurses. Performance of protecting 
      patient privacy had a positive correlation with perception. CONCLUSION: Proper 
      performance of protecting privacy protection requires improving perception of 
      each nurse on the patient privacy, and various efforts should be made to minimize 
      the affect from external factors such as hospital environment. It is needed to 
      educate nurses for patient privacy. It is also needed for medical organizations 
      to improve their policies and facilities to ease the performance for privacy 
      protection.
