SATISFACTION WITH THE
QUALITY OF MEDICAL SERVICES, PROVIDED HEALTH CENTERS FOR ADULTS IN THE
Measures on
primary medical prevention are currently being carried out, mainly in the
centers of public health. In this regard, there is a need to analyze their
activities, in order to improve the effectiveness of their work and interaction
with the health care system of the population.
Purpose
of the study. Evaluate the satisfaction with the work of health centers for
adults in the city of
Material and method. Method of research: questioning (continuous,
correspondence, individual, distributing, semi-closed).
A total of 1,798 correctly
filled questionnaires were assessed: 573 questionnaires were filled out by men
(31.3%), 1,225 questionnaires were filled by women (68.7%). The age varied from
18 to 86 years, on average 44.1 ± 4.1 years. The urban and rural population is
represented almost equally.
The indicator of customer satisfaction (CS) was calculated using the formula:
ÑS__ (I-2) x B²__
50
. B -
importance.
I- the fulfillment of the factors of satisfaction.
50 - the maximum value of the product of the performance and importance.
Execution of satisfaction
factors (the degree of justification of expectations). Are assessed in points
on the scale: 4 b. - expectations are more than justified; 3 b. - expectations
are justified; 2 b. - unjustified expectations; 1 b.- no answer (latent
dissatisfaction or indifference). The total number of scores is divided by the
number of respondents.
Importance. (qualitative
assessment of services, the importance of information). It is estimated in
points on the scale: 1 B. - no answer, 2 b. - complete discrepancy with the expected quality, 3 b. - some dissatisfaction
with quality, 4 b. - average satisfaction, 5 b. - high satisfaction.
Interpretation. 1 - 0.75
- CS high, 0.74-0.51 - CS above average, 0.49-0.25 - CS below
average, 0.24-0 - CS low. Negative values in these ranges will indicate the degree
of customer dissatisfaction.
A
special value is attached to the consumer's "loyalty" criterion.
Loyalty is the consumer's preference for a certain type of service. A loyal
consumer regularly visits an institution, uses the full range of services,
attracts the attention of other people, reacts with disbelief to the offer of
competitors. Willingness to pay a second visit to the institution (question 4,
table 1) - the type of loyalty commitment / habit. Visit on recommendation -
type of loyalty is an interest.
Results. Table 1 shows
a set of questions, the answers to which help determine the quality of health
services provided by health centers for adults. (Page 3).
The main criterion of loyalty to the service provider is trust in the
information received and the consumer's readiness to apply again to the same
institution for receiving the same services (see Table 1).
In the
rating of the importance of the information received at the health information
center, the indicators of the population's interest in risk factors, parameters
of their development and health (46%) ( Table 1) are on the first places.
It
should be noted that the majority of respondents (98.5%) were satisfied with
the quality of medical services ("fully satisfied", "rather
satisfied", section 2, table 1) provided to them in adult health centers.
3.6 per cent of
respondents reported inconveniences in the work of health centers for the adult
population, and 0.8 per cent refrained from responding.
The
calculation of the indicators of satisfaction of health centers for adults
showed:
Satisfaction factors (max 5, min 1) - 3.39 ± 0.21;
Importance (max 5, min 1) - 4.71 ± 0.14;
