Purpose: This study aimed to identify the influence of knowledge of personal information protection law and
nursing patient advocacy on practice of personal information protection among nurses. Methods: The subjects
were 130 nurses who have worked for six months or more in the ward of the tertiary or general hospitals. Data
were collected from February 20 to March 3, 2023. Results: Factors influencing practice of personal
information protection were acting as an advocate (β=.32, p=.004), environmental and educational
influences (β=.21, p=.040), knowledge of personal information protection law (β=.19, p=.013) and clinical
experience for five years or more but less than ten years (β=.17, p=.036). The regression model showed an
explanatory power of 34.0%. Conclusion: Acting as an advocate has the most effect on practice of personal
information protection. To promote practice of personal information protection for nurses, it is necessary to
provide education related to privacy protection and encourage nursing patient advocacy.
