About this study
Official title: The Effect of Privacy Education on Nursing Students' Privacy Consciousness and Attitudes Towards Patient Privacy: A Randomized Controlled Study
This study was conducted in a pre-test-post-test, factorial group randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effect of privacy education on nursing students' privacy consciousness and attitudes towards patient privacy. The universe of the study consisted of the third-grade students (n = 239) registered in Gazi University Faculty of Health Sciences Nursing Department in the Fall Semester of the 2020-2021 Academic Year. All students (n = 239) were evaluated according to the exclusion criteria from the study. The students who met the inclusion criteria (n = 116) were informed about the research. A pre-test was applied to the students (n = 116) who volunteered to participate in the study. According to gender, 116 students were randomly assigned to the control group (n = 38), study group I (n = 40), and study group II (n = 38) by a statistician by computer technique. Data were collected November 2020 and February 2021 using the Informative Features Form, the Privacy Consciousness Scale, The Patient Privacy Scale, and Students' Views on Education Form.
