Abstract
Privacy issues are frequently discussed among healthcare providers and end-users of healthcare applications as these sensitive issues are related to the use of a psychiatric behavioural monitoring system. We systematically reviewed literature on privacy issues and the Personal Data Protection Act (PDP) 2010 Malaysia to identify privacy concerns among Malaysian patients admitted to the Psychiatric Ward at a Teaching Hospital A. This study uses the social constructivism paradigm, through case study strategy of inquiry and the data was collected through interviews and observations. The study adapted privacy framework that consisted of five factors which are Physical, Social, Informational, Psychological and Global. It is found that two aspects under Physical which are Physical Access and Territoriality (Body) measured the same aspect and they were combined as one aspect called Territoriality (Body). Intimacy (External) and Intimacy (Internal), two sub-aspects under Social were also found to be very much alike and were combined into Intimacy. Autonomy, part of the Psychological, was found to be repeated in Social and was removed from the privacy framework. Under Psychological, our findings showed that Confiding and Creativity were not supported by the data. Organisational and Personal Characteristics and Circumstance were also not supported by the data. The end product is a privacy guidelines produced to help system developers better understand the framework and thus apply it more accurately to the design of psychiatric patients’ monitoring systems. This study also has integrated the privacy guidelines with system development life cycle (SDLC) to allow developers build privacy-sensitive-PBMS.
