| Summary: | Breast Cancer is the leading cause of mortality for females in Indonesia. There is
a need for women in Indonesia to have a breast self-examination system (BSE) where they
can seek information and consult their cases with any physician; However, violation of
patient confidentiality, lack of patient trust in physician conduct, and lack of patient
control over their data pose a major problem in the use of BSE system. For this reason,
there is a need to design a BSE system that can track self-exam data and allow
communication between patient and physician. In developing a BSE system, ethical and
trustworthiness values should exist as a part of the system’s ability. A survey was
conducted to identify the ethical and trustworthiness values that can be applied to the BSE
system. Therefore, this research aims to identify ethical values, determine the suitable
trustworthiness factors, and propose an ethical framework that suits the development of
the BSE system. The explanatory mixed-method carried quantitative survey with 772
respondents. A qualitative focus group discussion is conducted with 32 participants
leading to the importance of an ethical framework being used in the healthcare system.
The findings indicate that ethical values positively influence the BSE system with a pvalue
< 0.001, trustworthiness positively influences the BSE system with a p-value <
0.001, and an ethical framework is essential to implement in the BSE system due to the
coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.509. |
