However, it is very difficult to ensure patient privacy nowadays. Objectives: This research was conducted to determine the attitudes of nursing students towards the registration and preservation of patients' personal health data. Methods: The research is a descriptive cross-sectional study with 454 students registered in the Faculty of Health Sciences Nursing Department of a university in the fall semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. Data were collected using the "Student Identification Form" and "Registration and Preservation of the Personal Health Data Attitude Scale For Nursing Students". The data were evaluated by the Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test. The descriptive features were given as mean, percentages. Results: The mean total score of the "Registration and Preservation of the Personal Health Data Attitude Scale For Nursing Students" was found to be 4.06±0.51. In the scale consisting of five sub-dimensions, it was found that the students obtained the highest score from the "Personal Health Data Information" sub-dimension with the mean score 4.11±0.58; 4.09±0.59 scores from the "Legal Information" sub-dimension, 3.97±0.60 scores from the "Legal Data Sharing" sub-dimension; 3.96±0.61 scores from the "Personal Health Data Sharing" sub-dimension; 4.09±0.63 scores from the "Personal Health Data Registration" sub-dimension. In the study, Cronbach alpha value of the scale was found to be .91. Conclusion:According to the results of the research, it was found that nursing students' attitudes towards registering and preserving personal data were positive and their awareness was high.

“…Although it had a majority response, it was not so frequently selected by the students (85.7%). Recently some deficiencies have been described related to the knowledge of the obligation of confidentiality [5,15,16]. Other authors mention final-year students who show little respect for the patients' confidentiality compared to other obligations, this being more marked in male students [17].…”

“…The need to reinforce the competencybased education [18] in study plans has been proposed, as well as implementing measures oriented towards developing the study of Medical Ethics. This subject presents some differentiated characteristics, so that it would be necessary to go deeper into the analysis of the professional conduct guides [15]. A theoretical training is recommended, which is based on the analysis of clinical cases in which problems related to confidentiality arising in clinical practice are posed, as well as a direct exposure to situations in which the patient's privacy is questioned [19,20].…”

IntroductionEncouraging professional integrity is vital in providing a standard of excellence in the quality of medical care and education, promoting a culture of respect and responsibility. The main objective of this work consisted of studying the relationship of medical students with the right to privacy of patients in Spain, specifically analysing the conditions of accessing patients’ Clinical History (CH).MethodsA questionnaire was sent to final-year students at 41 Spanish universities. It had 14 multiple choice questions framed in 3 large blocks. The first one addressed basic general knowledge issues on the right to privacy and the obligation of confidentiality. The two remaining blocks were made up of questions directed towards evaluating the frequency with which certain requirements and steps of action related to the students in attending the patient were performed, and regarding the guarantees in accessing and handling their CH both on paper and in the Electronic Medical Record.ResultsA total of 245 valid replies was considered. 67.8% of participants were women, with an average age of 24.05±3.49 years. Up to 90.6% were aware that confidentiality affected the data in CHs, although 43.3% possessed non-anonymized photocopies of patients’ clinical reports outside healthcare context, and only 49.8% of the students were always adequately identified. 59.2% accessed patients’ CHs on some occasions by using passwords of healthcare professionals and 77.2% of them did not have patients’ express consent and 71.9% accessed a CH that was not anonymised.ConclusionsThe role of healthcare institutions and universities is considered to be fundamental in implementing educational measures regarding the risks and ethical and legal problems arising from the use of CHs among professionals and students. A profound study of medical ethics is needed through the analysis of clinical cases, and direct exposure to situations in which the patient’s confidentiality is questioned.

Background: Saudi Arabia aims to affirm the basic human rights for all its citizens. The medical students need to be aware about globally recognized rights in their study and career. Only few studies have measured the knowledge of medical students about public health rights (PBR) in Saudi Arabia. The present study aims to assess the current knowledge of medical students in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia concerning health empowerment issues and health rights. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia among the medical students of Ibn Sina National College (ISNC), Batterjee Medical College (BMC), King Abdul-Aziz University (KAU) and King Saud bin Abdul-Aziz University (KSAUHS) Jeddah branch, between July and August 2020. Questionnaire was used to collect demographic data, along with knowledge of the rights of female patients, laws and rights of patients with disabilities, special needs and senility, reproductive health rights, and health rights of cancer patients. The data were analyzed using statistical package of social science (SPSS) version 25. Results: Of the 393 participants, 58.3% were females and 41.7% were males. Regarding consent, 72.3% and 65.1% of the participants responded that a male guardian was not required to give consent for hospital admission and discharge, respectively, and only 46.1% knew that a female patient could provide consent for a caesarean section. Only 51.7% of the students were aware about Saudi Arabian health rights including the disabled individuals; while, 44.0% did not know. About half (53.2%) knew that that special needs patients have health rights, and 25.2% believed that abortion is never allowed in Islam. Concerning the woman’s right to attain contraception, 51.1% stated that the consent was not required; while, 25.7% responded that consent from a male guardian/partner is first required. Approximately half (49.6%) were aware that cancer patients have the right to free medical treatment, and 52.9% knew that cancer patients have the right to free surgical treatment. Conclusions: The knowledge of medical students regarding health rights of certain patient populations was not satisfactory in Saudi Arabia, which highlights the importance of health rights education in medical school.
