To assess the patient satisfaction with perioperative anesthetic care and to analyse the influencing factors. Methods Translation and culture adaptation were used for PSPACq, then the questionnaire was applied to three hundred and eighty patients after selective operation. The reliability and validity of the simplified Chinese version was evaluated. To evaluate the patient satisfaction with perioperative anesthetic care and to analyse the influencing factors. Results The Cronbach's a coefficient was employed to evaluate the internal reliability, which was 0.935. The content validity index(CVI) was 0.933. The total score of patient satisfaction with perioperative anesthetic care was (4.28±0.45). The factor " discomfort and needs" had gotten the highest score(4.68±0.67), and the factor "fear" had gotten the lowest score (3.56±0.79). Patients with different characteristics had different satisfaction. Multiple regression analysis showed that marriage, previous anesthetics and anesthesia methods are the main influencing factors(P＜0.05). Conclusions Simplified Chinese version PSPACq may be used to evaluate and analyse patient's satisfaction with perioperative anesthetic care.
