In the healthcare system, based on respect for PRIVACY and CONFIDENTIALITY, patients decides what information to provide to their physicians. However, if a patient does not provide necessary information to his physician this may impact the diagnosis and treatment.This study aims to evaluate patients’ attitude regarding PRIVACY and CONFIDENTIALITY in healthcare delivery.The result helps policy makers to establish appropriate relations between healthcare providers and patients by realizing its strengths and weaknesses.This cross-sectional study was carried out on 200 patients, selected in a systematically random way, in Imam Khomeini and Shariati hospitals in Tehran the capital of Iran in 2010. The data were collected directly from patients by trained interviewers based on a questionnaire survey.

In this study, it was found 71 (35.5%) patients were “strongly agree” that male physician can examine female patients and99 (49.5%) patients were “agree”. Fifty three patients were “strongly agree” that physician may consult with his assistant through training (without the patient's permission) and 103 patients were “agree”. Participants’ attitude about disclosing the patient’s information if a he has threaten self-harm or harm to another person was as follow, 45 (22.5%) patients were “strongly agree”, 82 (41.0%) patients were “agree” and 56 (28.0%) patients had “no comment”. In this study, in general 36 (18.0%) patients had “negative”, 162 (81.0%) patients “slightly positive”, and 2 (1.0%) patients had “positive attitude” towards PRIVACY and CONFIDENTIALITY in healthcare settings.In conclusion, the study population possessed a moderate attitude towards PRIVACY and CONFIDENTIALITY.
