A fundamental aim of social science and for practitioners is the improvement of the quality of life of inpatients residing in long-term care homes. This research aims to determine aspects of their privacy in the context of quality of life from the residents' perspective, which has long been neglected.
A total of 42 narrative interviews with nursing home residents were conducted and analyzed using the documentary method.
Four dimensions of privacy were identified. Intimate areas concern personal hygiene and toilet matters, non-intimate areas included mainly eating and the residents' private living area. Violations of privacy are associated with unpleasant feelings such as shame and disgust and are often subject to taboos. Respondents tended to be more open to talk about taboo subjects the less the topic referred to their own body.
Privacy is perceived as a significant aspect of the respondents' quality of life. To be able to address inhibition thresholds and shameful topics, a good relationship between patient and personnel is required. This postulates that the caregivers are also aware of their own inhibition threshold and negative feelings.
社会科学及从业者的一个基本目标是改善长期护理机构中住院患者的生活质量。本研究旨在从居民的角度确定其在生活质量背景下隐私的各个方面，而这一点长期以来一直被忽视。
对养老院居民进行了42次叙事访谈，并采用文献法进行分析。
确定了隐私的四个维度。私密区域涉及个人卫生和如厕问题，非私密区域主要包括饮食和居民的私人生活区。隐私侵犯与羞耻和厌恶等不愉快的感觉相关，并且常常受到禁忌。受访者往往对谈论禁忌话题更开放，话题与他们自己身体的关联越小。
隐私被视为受访者生活质量的一个重要方面。为了能够应对抑制阈值和羞耻话题，患者与工作人员之间需要良好的关系。这就要求护理人员也要意识到自己的抑制阈值和负面情绪。
