Translated title:
Interpretation and compliance of mental health professionals with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
Summary:
The purpose of this thesis is to study the level of information and the level of compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of mental health professionals compared to legal professionals. An indicative reference is made to the most important innovations of the Regulation, with particular emphasis on the security of the processing of personal data and the emergence of points of convergence and differentiation of compliance between psychiatrists / psychologists and lawyers. A total number of 136 individuals with an age range between 24-65 years (mean age = 36.80, SD= 9.46) from the general population of Greece and from whom, 53 participants were mental health professionals and 83 participants were lawyers participated in the study through the method of availability sampling. The GDPR Compliance self-reported questionnaire was used which examines the degree of compliance of participants with the General Data Protection Regulation.The analysis reported a statistically significant positive relationship between the acknowledgment/information of the General Data Protection Regulation and the implementation of technical and organizational measures (p<.001). Moreover, Mann-Whitney U tests showed that mental health professionals were engaged in the implementation of technical and organizational measures to a greater extent when compared to lawyers (p=.003) whereas, a non significant difference between the two groups was observed regarding the acknowledgment/information of the General Data Protection Regulation ( p=.255). Our findings are important since they constitute the basis for further research to be conducted into the cultural context of Greece in order to better understand and comply with the General Data Protection Regulation and other professional fields.
