In recent times, as the healthcare system becomes more informational, the importance of patient privacy protection increases, making it necessary to identify factors that affect the perception of patient privacy protection. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between nursing professionalism and the perception of patient privacy protection and the mediating role of nursing informatics competency. The study recruited 242 nursing students who had experienced dealing with patient information during clinical practice. The mediating model using the Hayes' PROCESS macro (Model 4) was employed to test the study hypothesis. Nursing professionalism was found to be positively and significantly associated with the perception of patient privacy protection ( = 0.09, = 0.021) with the mediation of nursing informatics ( = 0.18, < 0.001). Our findings showed that nursing professionalism and nursing informatics competency determined the perception of patient privacy protection. The mediating role of nursing informatics competency implies that curricula designed to enhance nursing informatics competency of nursing students may increase their perception of patient privacy protection.
近年来，随着医疗保健系统信息化程度的提高，患者隐私保护的重要性日益凸显，因此有必要识别影响患者隐私保护认知的因素。本研究旨在评估护理专业素养与患者隐私保护认知之间的关系以及护理信息学能力的中介作用。该研究招募了242名在临床实习中处理过患者信息的护理专业学生。采用Hayes的PROCESS宏程序（模型4）的中介模型来检验研究假设。结果发现，在护理信息学的中介作用下（ = 0.18， < 0.001），护理专业素养与患者隐私保护认知呈显著正相关（ = 0.09， = 0.021）。我们的研究结果表明，护理专业素养和护理信息学能力决定了患者隐私保护认知。护理信息学能力的中介作用意味着，旨在提高护理专业学生护理信息学能力的课程可能会增强他们对患者隐私保护的认知。
