Purpose: Health information protection policy has received increased emphasis in the medical environment. Nursing students are required to access personal health information in practical training to achieve the necessary credits. This study was done to identify the effects of nursing students’ ethical index and their awareness of health information protection on their practice in terms of health information protection.Methods: Participants for this cross-sectional descriptive design study were 238 nursing students who had undergone clinical practice at four universities in J province. Information ethics index, awareness of health information protection, and its practice were measured using self-report questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and multiple regression analysis.Results: Among the participants, 88.2% were female and 55.0% identified as religious. A positive correlation was found between awareness of health information protection and the information ethics index (r=.60, <i>p</i><.01). In the multiple regression model, 37.4% of the variance in students’ health information protection behavior was predicted by religion (β=.13, <i>p</i>=.033), the respect domain of the information ethics index (β=.22, <i>p</i>=.033), and awareness of health information protection (β=.61, <i>p</i><.001).Conclusion: To improve health information protection behavior in nursing students, religion, awareness of health information protection, and the respect component of the information ethical index should be considered when developing systematic education programs.

Enacted in 2000, the Canadian Personal Health Information Protection and Electronics Documents Act is an important piece of legislation aimed at safeguarding an individual’s right to control their personal health information. Since this time, the world of data and analytics has shifted in terms of our potential to collect, integrate, and analyze both structured and unstructured data. The implications for these data advancements are endless for our healthcare system; however, challenges influenced by our approach to collecting, accessing, and analyzing data as well as patient consent to share personal health information mean public entities lag behind commercial players in harnessing these potential benefits. While there are examples of data analytics application successes, Canadian healthcare continues to lag behind other countries and commercial sectors. We are at a pivot point for system improvements requiring a collective approach to collection, storage, linkage, and application of personal healthcare data. In the chasm of this rests how we address patient consent. All health leaders can play a central role in advancing our application of data for system improvements. Strategies to support health leaders in achieving this potential are outlined in this article.

Students are regarded as frequent users of mobile phones which has proven to be a convenient and acceptable method to promote healthy lifestyle. Students usually engage in relatively high levels of risky behavior and make unhealthy lifestyle choices, a study that investigates how health students access health information is necessary. The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional study which was undertaken among third-year nursing students from three nurses training institutions in Ghana. A total of 270 students participated in the study. Most of the respondents who were currently subscribers of the health messages reported that they usually received health information on reproductive health issues, nutrition, and practicing safe sex. Most of the health students revealed that they needed more information on safe sex, diet, managing weight, and stress management. The results also show that health students are likely to remember and share short messages with friends. The findings serve as an &lsquo;eye-opener&rsquo; for health educators and mobile service providers concerning factors that should be taken into consideration when framing health text messages that will attract health students.
