종합병원 입원환자의 공간 프라이버시 인식 및 구성요인

Abstract

Background : Medical facilities, particularly general hospitals provide a variety of medical services and medical treatments to inpatients, and patient-centered design approach should be considered. However, the hospitals are planned mainly for functional and effective physical aspects for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Psychological and behavioral approaches such as caring for individual patients and psychological support are insufficient. Thus, this study aims to examine inpatients and their privacy cognition, and component factors of hospital privacy in general hospitals. Methods : For the study, literature review and survey were conducted. First, the spatial composition, concept and attributes of privacy in general hospitals were examined. Second, the survey subjects were selected, and the study plan was analyzed. Third, the questionnaire was used to analyze the privacy cognition of inpatients and component factors of hospital privacy. For analysis, cross tabulation analysis, ANOVA, t-test and factor analysis were carried out using SPSS(PASW) Statistics. Result : (1) There was no difference found by case, so the common perception and need for privacy were confirmed; (2) In most spaces, privacy cognition for ‘solitude’ and ‘seclusion’ is usually less than the average, meaning that this should be considered for planning; (3) Privacy cognition for ‘secrecy,’ ‘anonymity,’ and ‘reserve’ was high, which implies characteristics as seen in the public space; (4) And looking at the cognition of hospital privacy, ‘self-determination’, ‘secrecy’, ‘reserve’ factors were identified. Conclusion : This study is meaningful in a sense that it is to seek ways to design patient-centered hospitals by examining privacy characteristics of environment behavior related to human-environment interaction in the special environment of hospitals.
