Abstract
Objective

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between of nurses and midwives spiritual well-being and respect for patient privacy.

Methods

The target population of this descriptive research consisted of nurses and midwives employed in healthcare institutions in a district located in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey. The data were collected from 494 nurses and midwives between January 18 and April 29, 2022 using a demographic information form, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, and the Patient Privacy Scale.

Results

The sample consisted of 494 participants, 422 (85.4%) females and 72 (14.6%) males. The findings revealed that the midwives had significantly higher levels of respect for patient privacy and spiritual well-being than the nurses. Moreover, the participants’ spiritual well-being and respect for patient privacy were positively correlated with age and clinical experience but negatively associated with weekly working hours.

Conclusions

In light of these findings, increasing midwives’ and nurses’ awareness of spiritual well-being and patient privacy through formal education, in-service training, drama activities, and case analyses can contribute to improving the quality of care. In further research, it may be recommended to evaluate the perceptions, opinions and practices of midwives and nurses regarding patient privacy and spiritual well-being.

Resumen
Objetivo

El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar la relación entre el bienestar espiritual de enfermeras y matronas y el respeto a la intimidad del paciente.

Método

La población de estudio de esta investigación descriptiva estaba formada por enfermeros y matronas empleados en instituciones sanitarias de un distrito situado en la región mediterránea de Turquía. Se recogieron datos de 494 enfermeros y matronas entre el 18 de enero y el 29 de abril de 2022 utilizando un formulario de información demográfica, la escala de bienestar espiritual y la escala de respeto a la intimidad del paciente.

Resultados

La muestra incluyó 494 participantes, 422 (85,4%) mujeres y 72 (14,6%) hombres. Los resultados revelaron que las matronas tenían niveles significativamente más altos de respeto por la intimidad del paciente y el bienestar espiritual que los enfermeros. Además, el bienestar espiritual y el respeto por la intimidad del paciente de los participantes estaban positivamente correlacionados con la edad y la experiencia clínica, pero negativamente asociados a las horas de trabajo semanales.

Conclusiones

A la luz de estos hallazgos, aumentar la conciencia de las matronas y enfermeros sobre el bienestar espiritual y la privacidad del paciente a través de la educación formal, la formación continua, las actividades teatrales y el análisis de casos puede contribuir a mejorar la calidad de la atención. En futuras investigaciones, puede ser recomendable evaluar las percepciones, opiniones y prácticas de matronas y enfermeras en relación con la privacidad del paciente y el bienestar espiritual.
