ConclusionsThere is still room for improvement in residents' satisfaction with family doctor contract service. Residents with different education levels, disease situations, on-the-job situations, time, regions and sampling methods have differences in their satisfaction with the contract services of family doctors.

ObjectiveTo explore the influence factors on inpatients' satisfaction, in order to identify influence factors for improving inpatients' satisfaction. MethodsA sampling survey was conducted in hospitals at different levels in Sichuan province. The satisfaction of inpatients in these hospitals was investigated by self-designed questionnaire. Then, a structural equation model on influence factors of satisfaction was constructed. ResultsA total of 1 237 inpatients from 12 hospitals were surveyed. The total satisfaction of these patients was 82.14%. The patients' satisfaction of grade A tertiary hospital in Chengdu city was obviously lower than that of the prefecture- and county-level hospitals (all P values <0.05). The fitting degree of structural equation model was good; Inpatients' satisfaction was mainly influenced by 5 factors including hospital values (HV), service quality of doctors and nurses (SQ), service process (SP), convenience of resources (CR) and comfort of facilities (CF). Of the 5 factors, the HV and SQ respectively ranked the 1st and 2nd to the influence degree on satisfaction. ConclusionThis study identifies the key influence factors on inpatients' satisfaction. Specific measures should be taken by hospital administrators to improve the quality of medical services and the satisfaction of inpatients.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and quality of patients in day surgery. MethodsThe clinical data of patients in day surgery from March to December 2014 in this hospital were collected. The incidence of complications, delayed discharge rate, rate of readmission to hospital, satisfaction, and so on, were analyzed. ResultsOf 5 520 patients were in day surgery, including laporoscopic cholecystectomy, hernia repair surgery, vocal cord polyps resection, breast minimally invasive surgery, varicose vein of lower limb, choledochoscopy, gastrointestinal polyposis, and so on.

ObjectiveTo develop a patient satisfaction evaluation scale for day surgery and test its reliability and validity, so as to provide a scientific and effective tool for day surgery patient satisfaction assessment.MethodsThe literature review method was used to form an entry pool, and the initial version of the scale was formed in conjunction with the expert review method. And then a preliminary survey was conducted to obtain the tentative version of the scale. Finally, 290 day surgery patients discharged between June 15th and July 15th, 2019 were selected to accomplish a survey to check the reliability and validity of the scale.ResultsFinally, a day surgery patient satisfaction evaluation scale was formed, containing 3 stages (pre-hospital, hospitalization, and postdischarge follow-up), 3 dimensions (medical staff evaluation, medical service evaluation, and environment and process evaluation), and 40 items. After the formal survey, the overall Cronbach’s α coefficient of the scale was 0.980, the Spearman-Brown coefficient was 0.933, the Guttman’s half-coefficient was 0.932, and the content validity was 0.87-1.00.ConclusionThe day surgery patient satisfaction evaluation scale was proven good reliability and validity, which can be used as a measurement tool for day surgery patients and applied to clinical practice.
Patient satisfaction is regarded as a key component of measuring and reporting quality of medical services. It is also an important indicator in performance appraisal for public hospitals in China. Based on the literature review on the theories and practices of patient satisfaction assessment in China and other countries and areas, this paper performed an in-depth analysis on the theoretical frameworks and instruments for patient satisfaction assessment, as well as their applications in management practices. Further research and improvements are needed.
