[The privacy respect and the professional secret in nursing].
The situations that appear in health care demand keep awake aspects of the personal privacy, that in the normal life would be reserved to familiary relations. The interactions that settle down between the person who care and who is cared is an exceptional relationship of proximitiy. The healh professional, managers, computing pleople and administratives, collect original data of clinical history, these data are specially protected by the Protection Data law. Discretion has been considered an essential quality of the health professionals and were been collected in codes that regulate these professions. The arguments that defense the privacy value are bases in the person's value, his/her dignity and autonomy.
