Methods: Professional self-concept, ethical disposition, and patients¡¯ personal information protection intention according to general characteristics were analyzed using t-tests and one-way ANOVA.

Results: Professional self-concept, ethical disposition, and the patients¡¯ willingness to protect personal information all showed positive correlations. The higher the communication skills of professional self-concept and the higher the idealism of ethical orientation, the higher the patients¡¯ willingness to protect personal information.
