Implication

Cross-sectional survey reveals gaps in RMPs' knowledge about professional secrecy and legal requirements.

Key Points

  • RMPs demonstrated a solid grasp of confidentiality for notifiable diseases at 75.43%, yet understanding declined in complex disclosures.
  • Awareness of disclosure to employers and insurers found incorrect at rates up to 60.52%, indicating significant gaps in knowledge.
  • Participation in specific cases involving guardians resulted in better understanding, with 61.11% accurate responses noted.
  • The study calls for mandatory training in medical jurisprudence to enhance knowledge and adherence to ethical standards.
