The patients' evaluation of medical service at the out-patient level

Abstract


The article presents the results of questionnaire survey of patients' opinions about out-patient medical care. The survey was carried out using the Doctors' Interpersonal Skills Questionnaire during 12 months. The sampling consisted of 14.712 respondents. The lowest rates out of 11 parameters analyzed received parameters Q5 (Could the doctor reassure you?) and Q7 (Did the doctor help you to express your feelings and fears?). Such a situation was common for all medical specialties. Unexpectedly, combination of low estimate of mentioned parameters with their low correlation and resultant satisfaction with medical care was established. The resultant satisfaction with medical service by general practitioners (family doctors) was less dependent from physician's respectful attitude to patient than attention of physician to personal circumstances of patient choosing treatment. The patients of endocrinologists noted that the least input into resultant satisfaction with medical care was related to ability of physician to assist them to express their fears, and the greatest input was given to first impression from manner and mode of how physician received patient. The least input into resultant satisfaction of patients with medical services by cardiologists was made by respectful attitude of physician and the most input was attributed to way of how physician considers patient’s personal circumstances in treatment selection. The patients of gastroenterologists mentioned physician's ability to reassure patient as least input into resultant satisfaction with medical care, and attention to way of how physician considers patient’s personal circumstances in treatment selection as most input.
