Hi Kudawashe, I'm finishing up my PhD is a similar area. You might find the following publications of use:
Fernando, J. & Dawson, L. (2008) Clinician assessments of workplace security training- an informatics perspective, /electronic Journal of Health Informatics (eJHI)/, (forthcoming Privacy and Security issue) Fernando, J. (2004) Factors that have contributed to a lack of integration in health information system security, /Journal of Information Technology in Healthcare /(2)5 pp.313-328 A third publication is currently under consideration and I have a few conference presentations on IT security for healthcare too- I'm happy to send the PPTs if they might be useful to you.
