To clarify the relationship between the perceived privacy of hospitalized patients and their perception of their relationship with nurses, 164 hospitalized patients were examined using a self-administered questionnaire including the hospitalized patients' perceived privacy scale and the five items of positive feelings toward nurses. Date were analyzed using an one-way ANOVA and the t-test. The results showed that hospitalized patients who had a positive feeling toward nurses had a significantly lower perception on two dimensions of the privacy scale, 'intrusion of self by others' and 'breakdown of personal space.' Another dimension of the privacy scale, 'the exposure of one's life history,' did not have a significant relationship between a positive feeling toward nurses, such as trust in a nurse and understanding the personality of a nurse, and the perceived invasion of privacy. In order to protect the privacy of patients, it is necessary for nurses to establish good interpersonal relationships with patients, which allows the patients to feel comfortable with their relationships with the nurses.
