The routine use of chaperones during medical examinations, including intimate examinations, is variable. Practice varies between countries and also within them. Use of a chaperone may protect patients from sexual abuse by medical or nursing practitioners. An appropriate chaperone may also protect healthcare practitioners from false accusations. This article considers issues surrounding the use of chaperones and suggests a chaperoning policy for sexual health clinics, while acknowledging that it may not be appropriate or acceptable to all patients or medical staff, or for different parts of the world.
在包括私密检查在内的医学检查过程中，陪诊人员的常规使用情况各不相同。不同国家之间以及同一国家内部的做法都存在差异。使用陪诊人员可以保护患者免受医护人员的性侵犯。合适的陪诊人员也可以保护医护人员免受诬告。本文探讨了与陪诊人员使用相关的问题，并为性健康诊所提出了一项陪诊政策，同时承认该政策可能并非对所有患者、医务人员或世界不同地区都合适或可接受。
