SATISFACTION WITH THE QUALITY OF MEDICAL SERVICES, PROVIDED HEALTH CENTERS FOR ADULTS IN THE NOVOSIBIRSK REGION

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 Novosibirsk and the region in 1916.
            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;
