Abstract

The aim of this study is to clarify the actual condition in which the patient has controlled his or her information when he or she presents one's information to the primary nurse, and to find the factors relevant to it.<br/> We conducted a questionnaire survey of 204 patients in eight hospitals of two different prefectures as a sample. As results, patients were found to have little hesitation as a whole when presenting the information to the nurse, and nearly all patients sought to provide detail information.<br/> Almost no significant difference was found among patient attributes, i. e. hospital locations, duration of hospitalization and sex.<br/> In the correlation with a Japanese version of the generalized self-efficacy scale (JHLC), almost no significant correlation was found among all items. However, significant correlation was found among the factors called F (family) of JHLC, items, such as a family’s health condition and a state of excretion.<br/> The patient’s awareness of the right to control personal information will increase gradually in the near future.<br/> Therefore, it is important to develop a sensitive and useful scale for measuring the patient’s actual situation controlling personal information.
