Student nurses as allied of health were expected to adhere to the principles of nursing practice to ensure safety and better quality of healthcare services. The responsibility to assess the level of awareness on ethical principles is foundational in nursing practice. However, there was a growing concern about the challenges in providing patients’ confidentiality, informed consent and disclosure. The study aimed to assess the level of awareness on ethical principles related to patient privacy among student nurses of Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges. 326 BSN students from levels II, III, and IV were selected using simple random sampling to avoid bias. The study employed a descriptive correlational design to gather information, analyze, interpret research data and utilize a questionnaire checklist tool via google forms. Statistical tools were used to analyze data such as percentage techniques, weighted mean, Kendall Coefficient of Concordance and Spearman Rank Correlation. The study reveals a high level of awareness on ethical principles related to patient privacy among student nurses of Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges as result shows that there was no significant relationship between the respondents’ profile and the level of awareness on ethical principles related to patient privacy. In contrast, there was a significant relationship between the factors and level of awareness on ethical principles related to patient privacy. The findings from this study were expected to provide valuable insights to students, educators, policy makers and institutions to enhance the level of awareness on ethical principles related to patient privacy among student nurses of Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges.
