A 21-year-old Japanese woman who is a university student has been considering going to see a psychiatrist.
A 21-year-old Japanese woman who is a university student has been considering going to see a psychiatrist. Since she has national health insurance, she has to pay the hospital only 30% of the total medical cost, which she thinks she can afford. What makes her pause, however, is that if she uses the national health insurance her hospital visits will be reported to her father through the company he is working for, which she does not want to happen. Details of treatment or prescribed medicines are not reported but because the name of the hospital/clinic she attends will be reported her family can guess her conditions. This means she cannot hide the fact that she sees a psychiatrist and that will make them worry. This is because she is a dependent family member of her father in the national health insurance system until she starts to work after graduating from the university. Anotheroption is that she pays all the cost by herself without using the national health insurance but then this is too costly and she cannot go to see a psychiatrist. She has been wondering what to do but she really does not want to let her family know about this and be worried about her.
Questions:1.Do privacy and confidentiality exist within a family?
2.Should family member know about all the health issues and hospital visits each other?
3.Does your country have a health insurance system? What are issues related to privacy and confidentiality it has?
