Abstract
Introduction: Protecting patients’ privacy by psychiatry hospitals’ staff has a high priority due to possible negative effects of the disclosure of their information on patients’ reputation. This research aimed to assess the relationship between perceived organizational justice and privacy observation with the moderating role of deterrent factors in psychiatry hospitals in Isfahan City, Iran.Methods: This was a descriptive-correlation research, and study population consisted of 445 medical staff in two psychiatry hospitals in Isfahan City (Farabi and Modarres). Sample size was set to 205 staff members, following Morgan table, and classified sampling method was used to select 126 and 79 participants from Farabi and Modarres hospitals, respectively. The questionnaire was a five-point Likert scale, adapted from four different questionnaires and the face, content, and confirmatory factor analyses were used to determine its validity, and Cronbach’s alpha for its reliability. Descriptive analyses were performed and partial least square modeling was employed to test the hypotheses.Results: There was a positive significant correlation between distributive (P < 0.05), procedural (P < 0.01), and interactional organizational justice (P < 0.01) with intention of privacy observation. Moreover, the correlation of distributive (P < 0.01), procedural (P < 0.05), and interactional organizational justice (P < 0.05) with intention of privacy observation found to be moderated by deterrent.Conclusion: This model can be used to predict privacy breach in hospitals, and make policies regarding patients’ privacy. Implementing a fair system for supervision of treatment staff in hospitals, as well as compilation and execution of instructions regarding the certainty and severity of sanctions against violation of patients’ privacy can reduce the likelihood of privacy breaches in hospitals.
