The views of patients on the degree of confidentiality that is necessary for effective psychiatric care have not been empirically investigated, despite their potential importance to the debate. This study examines the views of 30 psychiatric inpatients on issues related to confidentiality. Patients were found to value confidentiality highly and to be concerned about the possibility of unauthorized disclosures but to have little knowledge of their legal rights or recourses should breaches of confidentiality occur. The data support contentions about the importance of confidentiality and suggest the need for further patient education.
尽管患者对有效精神科护理所需保密程度的看法对相关辩论可能具有重要意义，但尚未进行实证研究。本研究调查了30名精神科住院患者对保密相关问题的看法。结果发现，患者高度重视保密，担心未经授权的信息披露，但对自身的合法权利以及在保密遭到侵犯时的求助途径知之甚少。这些数据支持了关于保密重要性的论点，并表明有必要对患者进行进一步教育。
