ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To describe some characteristics of the 97 teaching hospitals participating in the Projeto de Aprimoramento e Inovação no Cuidado e Ensino em Obstetrícia e Neonatologia (Apice ON—Project for Improvement and Innovation in Care and Teaching in Obstetrics and Neonatology). METHODS The semester prior to the beginning of the program was adopted as the baseline to evaluate the subsequent structural and processes changes of this project. Secondary data from the first half of 2017 were extracted from the National Registry of Health Establishments (NRHE), the Hospital Information System and the Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC—Live Birth Information System). RESULTS Before the implementation of the project, only 66% of the hospitals had a Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative, only 3% offered special accommodations for high-risk pregnant women, mothers and their newborns, and 45.4% hospitals adopted the skin-to-skin contact; 97% hospitals had separate rooms for pre-labor and vaginal delivery (93%), not following the recommendations of the Ministry of Health; nine hospitals (9%) had no rooming-in; there were few obstetrics nurses (less than 1% of professionals enrolled in the NRHE), and in only six hospitals the proportion of births assisted by this professional was above 50% of vaginal deliveries, while in eight this percentage ranged between 15% and 50%; the average cesarean section rate was 42%, ranging between 37.6% (Southeast) and 49.1% (Northeast); ten hospitals did not charge for companions according to inpatient hospital authorization. CONCLUSION The study strengthens the relevance of the Apice ON project as an inducer of change of the care model in teaching hospitals and, therefore, as a strategy for the implementation of the national public policy represented by the Stork Network.


RESUMO OBJETIVO Este artigo descreve algumas características dos 97 hospitais de ensino participantes do Projeto de Aprimoramento e Inovação no Cuidado e Ensino em Obstetrícia e Neonatologia (Apice ON). MÉTODOS Foi adotado como linha de base o semestre anterior ao lançamento do programa, para permitir avaliar as mudanças estruturais e processuais decorrentes desse projeto. Utilizaram-se dados secundários referentes ao primeiro semestre de 2017 disponíveis no Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde (CNES), no Sistema de Informações Hospitalares e no Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos. RESULTADOS Antes da implantação do projeto, apenas 66% dos hospitais apresentaram habilitação de Hospital Amigo da Criança, somente 3% estavam habilitados com Casa da gestante, Bebê e Puérpera e 45,4% adotavam o método canguru; 97% dispunham de sala de pré-parto e 93% de sala de parto normal separadas, sem seguir o preconizado pelo Ministério da Saúde; nove hospitais (9%) não tinham alojamento conjunto; havia poucos enfermeiros obstetras (menos de 1% dos profissionais cadastrados no CNES), e em apenas seis hospitais a proporção de partos assistidos por esse profissional foi superior a 50% dos partos vaginais, enquanto em oito hospitais esta proporção ficou entre 15 e 50%; a taxa média de cesáreas foi de 42%, variando entre 37,6% (Sudeste) e 49,1% (Nordeste); em dez dos hospitais não constava cobrança de diária de acompanhante na autorização de internação hospitalar. CONCLUSÃO O estudo fortalece a pertinência do projeto Apice ON como indutor de mudança do modelo nos hospitais de ensino e, portanto, como estratégico para a efetivação da política pública nacional representada pela Rede Cegonha.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the role of the nurse in the collegiate management model of a teaching hospital, in the integrality of care perspective. Method: a single case study with multiple units of analysis, with the theoretical proposition "integrality of care is a result of the care offered to the user by multiple professionals, including the nurse". Data were obtained in a functional unit of a teaching hospital through interviews with 13 nurses in a non-participant observation and document analysis. Results: from the analytical categories emerged subcategories that allowed understanding that the nurse promotes integrality of care through nursing management, team work and integration of services. Final considerations: the theoretical proposition was confirmed and it was verified that the nursing management focus on attending to health care needs and is a strategy to provide integrality of care.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: Service quality is one of the important gears to appraise services and determine the gray areas that need improvement. In countries with a resource-poor health system, the first step of measuring quality is yet to be taken. This study seeks to inform policy makers in developing contextual service quality models by identifying service quality gaps in tertiary care teaching hospitals using patients' perspective. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed using multistage cluster sampling, and a modified version of the SERVQUAL [SERV-service, QUAL-quality] instrument was administered to determine patient's expectations and perceptions. A total of 817 completed questionnaires were obtained from patients and/or their attendants using convenience sampling


Results: Data analysis revealed statistically significant negative quality gaps between expectations and perceptions of tangibility, reliability, empathy, assurance, responsiveness, and communication. The difference in mean expectation and perception for responsiveness across the sexes was significant [p < 0.003;p < 0.037, respectively] as well as in perception of communication [p < 0.026]. Other dimensions and overall hospital expected and perceived quality were independent of sex. Educational status showed significant difference in expectation and perception in responsiveness [p < 0.005], but the perception of each dimension was significantly different in different educational categories [assurance:p < 0.001; empathy:p < 0.001; reliability:p < 0.001; tangibility:p < 0.001; responsiveness:p < 0.001; communication:p < 0.001; and for overall service quality:p < 0.001]. Age and service departments showed no relationship with any of the perceived or expected dimension of service quality of hospitals


Conclusions: Tertiary care hospitals failed to meet patients' expectations in all major areas of service quality, posing a question of how hospitals implement and evaluate their quality assurance policy

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the major impact variables in the opinion of nursing staff about the Quality Program of a teaching hospital. Methods An exploratory-descriptive study was performed with 72 nursing staff. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaire containing 24 statements about the Quality Program; and the degree of agreement of the participants was expressed in a Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed by factor analysis and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results The analysis grouped the statements in six factors. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient defined a scale of influence of the variables within each factor, whose variable with the greatest impact in each factor is the priority issue for improving worker opinion about the Quality Program. The priority variables were to believe the Quality Program contributes to the hospital; to understand the program orientations; interest in hospital quality direction; and do not feel exhausted due to the program. Conclusion These variables must be focused during the implementation and execution of Quality Program, as they have greater impact on improving opinion regarding the Quality Program and thus helping to increase compliance of the nursing staff to the program.


RESUMO Objetivo Analisar as variáveis de maior impacto na opinião dos trabalhadores de enfermagem sobre um Programa de Qualidade de um hospital de ensino. Métodos Estudo exploratório-descritivo, desenvolvido com 72 trabalhadores de enfermagem, com dados coletados por meio de questionário autoaplicável, contendo 24 afirmações com escala Likert sobre o Programa de Qualidade. Para análise dos dados, foram utilizados análise fatorial e coeficiente de correlação de Pearson. Resultados A análise agrupou as afirmações em seis fatores. O coeficiente de correlação de Pearson definiu uma escala de influência das variáveis dentro de cada fator, cuja variável de maior impacto em cada fator representa a questão prioritária para a melhoria da opinião do trabalhador sobre o Programa de Qualidade. As variáveis prioritárias foram: acreditar que o Programa de Qualidade contribui para o hospital; compreender as orientações do programa; interessar-se pelos rumos de qualidade do hospital; e não se sentir desgastado em função do programa. Conclusão Estas variáveis devem ser focadas durante a implantação e a execução de um Programa de Qualidade, pois possuem maior impacto na melhoria da opinião em relação a ele, contribuindo para aumentar a adesão dos trabalhadores de enfermagem.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: to investigate the association between the scores of the patient safety climate and socio-demographic and professional variables.Methods: an observational, sectional and quantitative study, conducted at a large public teaching hospital. The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire was used, translated and validated for Brazil. Data analysis used the software Statistical Package for Social Sciences. In the bivariate analysis, we used Student's t-test, analysis of variance and Spearman's correlation of (α=0.05). To identify predictors for the safety climate scores, multiple linear regression was used, having the safety climate domain as the main outcome (α=0.01).Results: most participants were women, nursing staff, who worked in direct care to adult patients in critical areas, without a graduate degree and without any other employment. The average and median total score of the instrument corresponded to 61.8 (SD=13.7) and 63.3, respectively. The variable professional performance was found as a factor associated with the safety environment for the domain perception of service management and hospital management (p=0.01).Conclusion: the identification of factors associated with the safety environment permits the construction of strategies for safe practices in the hospitals.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: To report the results of 13 years worth of epidemiologic surveillance of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) following heart surgery and the main interventions applied in order to reduce VAP incidence. Methods: This is a retrospective and descriptive study of active epidemiologic surveillance of VAP. National diagnostic criteria were used. Interventions associated with a decrease in VAlP incidence in adults who underwent heart surgery are described. Results: A significant and sustained reduction was observed in the rate of VAP; being 56.7 per 1,000 ventilator-days in 1998 vs 4.7 per 1,000 ventilator-days in 2010 (p < 0.001). The strongest reduction was observed following 2003 (34.4 to 14.8 per 1,000 ventilator-days in 2004, p < 0.001). The interventions with greatest impact were the implementation of an early-weaning protocol, the introduction of trained nurses to perform the mechanical ventilator equipment management and the routine use of alcohol-based hand rubs. Conclusion: Epidemiologic surveillance associated with the establishment of a multifactorial intervention program applied in collaboration with the attending team, have demonstrated a significant reduction of VAP incidence after heart surgery.

ABSTRACT

A percepção dos usuários dos serviços de saúde vem sendo amplamente discutida e levada em consideração na implantação de políticas de saúde, de modo a atender suas expectativas e necessidades. A integração dos diferentes serviços de saúde favorece a articulação das ações de promoção, prevenção e recuperação da saúde, que asseguram o fluxo e acessibilidade dos pacientes a essas instituições. Na área obstétrica, com o movimento de humanização da assistência ao parto, esse pressuposto vem sendo imperativo. Entre as iniciativas recomendadas para contemplar essa finalidade está o contato pele a pele da mãe com o bebê após o nascimento. Assim, este estudo teve por objetivo conhecer a experiência de mulheres em relação ao contato pele a pele com o seu bebê no momento imediato ao nascimento. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório descritivo com análise qualitativa. Foi realizado em um hospital de ensino de São Paulo. Participaram da pesquisa 35 mulheres, oriundas de Unidades Básicas de Saúde,da área de abrangência desse estabelecimento de saúde e que tiveram parto antes e após a implementação da referida prática na instituição. Os dados foram coletados após o aval do Comitê de Ética e analisados à luz do referencial da Humanização da Assistência ao Parto. As principais percepções relatadas por essas mulheres foram: o bebê acalma-se ao sentir o calor materno e reconhece a mãe, alívio e segurança para a mãe, emoção para a mãe, a formação de vínculos e que o sofrimento do parto foi atenuado. Os resultados permitiram uma reflexão da assistência à mulher e ao recém-nascido e constataram aspectos positivos e negativos na implantação de mudanças assistenciais, permitindo tomadas de decisões mais assertivas no referido serviço.


The perception of users of health services has been widely discussed and taken into consideration in implementing health policies in order to meet their expectations and needs. The integration between different health services favors the articulation of the actions for promoting, preventing and recovering health, thus ensuring the flow and accessibility of patients to these institutions. In obstetrics, thanks to the movement toward humanization of childbirth care, this has been a fundamental assumption. Among the initiatives recommended for this purpose is contemplating the skin contact of mothers and babies after birth. The objective of this study was to know women’s experience related to skin contact with their babies at the time immediately following birth. This is anexploratory study with a qualitative analysis. It was conducted in a teaching hospital in Sao Paulo. Data were collected through interviews with the participation of 35 women who gave birth before and after the implementation of this practice. The perceptions reported by these women were: babies get peaceful when they feel the mother’s warmth and recognize her, there’s relief for themother, she feels emotion, and it helps to create attachments between babies and mothers and reduces the suffering of parturition.The results provided valuable insights about the positive and negative aspects for the users with the implementation of the practice.

ABSTRACT

Background: Patients' satisfaction has now become the most important and measurable aspect for assessing the quality of patient care services. For improvement of performance of any health system there is a need to assess patients' satisfaction as often as possible. Objectives: 1) To assess the level of patients' satisfaction as well as dissatisfaction regarding the services provided in the outdoor and indoor of different departments of a tertiary care hospital. 2) To find out the relation of some socio-demographic variables and different departments with the level of satisfaction if any. Materials and Methods: Two predesigned pretested interview schedule (separate for outdoor and indoor) was developed covering certain domains of patients care. Overall satisfaction level was determined by using summated Likert's score. Results: For outdoor, a little excess of half of the patients were satisfied in doctor-patient communication(51.0%),consultation room(53.5%), and overall(59.9%).The unsatisfied area was waiting place and time(38.6%).In the Indoor, 58.6% patients were satisfied with admission procedure,53.2% for clinical care,57.1% for nursing care and 45.3% with food services and the areas where more patients were not satisfied were cleanliness(40.4%),comfort(20.2%) and food services.G&O patients were less satisfied both in indoor and outdoor. Satisfaction level significantly increased with increase in age (P<0.01),male patients (P<0.01),lower education(P<.05) and surgical patients(P<0.01). Conclusion: The level of patients' satisfaction showed deficiencies in different issues of hospital services, which should be given utmost importance by the hospital management authority for betterment.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: medir o desempenho de hospitais de ensino por Análise Envoltória de Dados (Data Envelopment Analysis – DEA) e estudar a influência de fatores ambientais na eficiência encontrada. Metodologia: foram analisados 104 hospitais de ensino e o escore de eficiência foi gerado por DEA, modelo VRS, orientado a out put, com restrição aos pesos. Em uma segunda etapa, utilizou-se regressão linear logística, usando-se o escore de eficiência DEA como variável dependente. Resultados: a média de eficiência foi 49 por cento (DP=26 por cento); cinco hospitais foram considerados eficientes. Na regressão, as variáveis com maior poder explicativo para eficiência foram porte hospitalar (p=0,001), alta intensidade (p=0,027) e baixa dedicação (p=0,006) de ensino. Não foi verificada associação entre eficiência e natureza jurídica ou IDH do município de entorno. Conclusão: a eficiência hospitalar é influenciada por variáveis ambientais, nem todas suscetíveis à governabilidade do gestor, que podem ser consideradas na pactuação de metas para financiamento.


Objective: to measure the performance of teaching hospitals by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and to study the influence of environmental factors on the efficiency. Methodology: A hundred and four teaching hospitals were analyzed and the efficiency score was generated by DEA, VRS model, output oriented, with weight restrictions. The efficiency scorecriteria were then regressed on non-discretionary variables by logistic linear regression. Results: the efficiency score mean was 49 per cent (SD=26 per cent); five hospitals were efficient. In logistic regression, the main predictors of efficiency were the size of the hospital (p=0.001), high teaching intensity (p=0.027) and low teaching dedication (p=0.006). There was no association between efficiency and ownership form or HDI of the surrounding municipality. Conclusion: hospital efficiency suffers the influence of different environmental factors, not necessarily under the control of the manager, that should be considered when defining administrative goals and financing pacts.

ABSTRACT

Os erros provenientes das prescrições médicas podem provocar sérios danos à saúde dos pacientes; por isso, é imprescindível que sejam identificados e prevenidos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a presença dos requisitos legais e institucionais da prescrição médica de um hospital pediátrico público de ensino, a fim de se obter um diagnóstico da situação, para então serem aplicadas as medidas corretivas. A partir da autorização do comitê de pesquisa, foi feito um estudo observacional do tipo transversal, quantitativo, no qual foram analisadas, durante três meses, todas as segundas vias das prescrições dos pacientes hospitalizados. Foram analisadas 1.590 prescrições, cada uma tendo em média 4,47 medicamentos, e obtiveram-se os seguintes dados: quanto à legibilidade, 32,39 por cento das prescrições eram pouco legíveis, 49,81 por cento continham medicamentos prescritos por nome comercial, 5,25 por cento dos medicamentos prescritos não eram padronizados. A qualidade da prescrição do hospital em estudo precisa ser melhorada, a fim de que sejam evitados erros de medicação e o processo de assistência à saúde se torne mais seguro. A falta de clareza nas prescrições pode confundir os profissionais de saúde e causar danos ao paciente.


The errors from doctor prescriptions can cause damage to the patient's health, consequently it is necessary to identify and to prevent them. This work aimed to evaluate if the legal and institutional aspects that are present in doctor prescription at the public and university pediatric hospital to make a diagnosis from the situation, and then to correct the problems. A survey was made was made using a cross-sectional method, where copies of 1,590 prescriptions were studied after the University Committee of Research approved the survey. The average was 4,47 drugs per prescription and following data were detectable: readable- 32.39 percent of the prescriptions were unreadable, 49.81 percent presented only the commercial name, 5.25 percent of the drugs were not standardized. Quality of prescription in the chosen hospital needs to be better to avoid medication errors and the health care process gets safer. When prescription is unreadable, they can confuse health professionals and damage patients.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a satisfação dos usuários com o hospital-escola de São Carlos nos seis primeiros meses de funcionamento. Amostra é composta por 137 usuários divididos pelo serviço utilizado (internação hospitalar, internação domiciliar, emergência SAMU, emergência demanda espontânea e acolhimento) no hospital. Os usuários foram entrevistados quanto ao perfil sociodemográfico e clínico e avaliação da satisfação com o hospital. A maioria dos usuários era do sexo feminino e na faixa etária de 18 a 45 anos. Os usuários ficaram "muito satisfeitos" (46,2 por cento) com a agilidade no atendimento e com a equipe (52,6 por cento). 59,2 por cento dos usuários ficaram muito satisfeitos com o hospital e 68,6 por cento o consideraram melhor do que imaginavam. Não houve diferença entre serviços na satisfação com a agilidade, ambiente físico e equipe. Houve menor "esclarecimento sobre a saúde" no acolhimento em relação à internação hospitalar e domiciliar (p<0,05). Os usuários da internação hospitalar apresentaram maior satisfação e melhor expectativa do que o acolhimento e emergência SAMU (p<0,05). As características do perfil do usuário com diferenças estatísticas quanto à satisfação foram "a cor da pele" e "plano de saúde". O estudo demonstra que a adoção do modelo de assistência humanizada à saúde, como a proposta do hospital-escola, resulta em satisfação dos seus usuários.


This research assessed the satisfaction of the users of São Carlos Hospital School in its first six months of functioning. A sample of 137 users was grouped according to the service used: hospital admittance, home care, emergency medical assistance, spontaneous emergency and shelter. Inferential statistics were realized by Chi-Square and Fischer Exact tests. The majority of users were women and aged 18 to 45 years-old. The users were "very satisfied" (46.2 percent) with attendance agility and with the team (52.6 percent). A number of 59.2 percent of the users were very satisfied with the hospital and 68.8 percent considered the service better than expected. Less "clarity concerning health" was reported for shelter regarding hospital admittance and home care (p<0.05). Users under hospital admittance presented greater satisfaction and better expectation compared to acceptance and emergency medical assistance (p<0.05). User profile characteristics as "skin color" and "health plan" presented statistical differences regarding general satisfaction. The study showed that the adoption of a humanized model of assistance in healthcare as the proposal of this Hospital resulted in user satisfaction.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o impacto da reforma de financiamento na produtividade de hospitais de ensino. MÉTODOS: A partir do Sistema de Informações dos Hospitais Universitários Federais, foram construídas fronteiras de eficiência e produtividade em 2003 e 2006 com técnicas de programação linear, por meio de análise envoltória de dados, considerando retornos variáveis de escala e orientação a input. Calculou-se o Índice de Malmquist para identificar mudanças de desempenho ao longo dos anos quanto à eficiência técnica (razão entre os escores de eficiência em tempos distintos) e eficiência tecnológica (deslocamento da fronteira no período considerado). RESULTADOS: Houve aumento do aporte financeiro em 51% e da eficiência técnica dos hospitais de ensino (de 11, passaram a ser 17 na fronteira empírica de eficiência), o mesmo não ocorrendo com a fronteira tecnológica. O uso de análise envoltória de dados estabeleceu os benchmarks para as unidades ineficientes (antes e depois da reforma) e os escores de eficiência mostraram uma possível correlação entre a eficiência técnica encontrada e a intensidade e dedicação de ensino. CONCLUSÕES: A reforma permitiu o desenvolvimento de melhorias gerenciais, mas é necessário maior tempo de acompanhamento para observar mudanças mais efetivas do modelo de financiamento.


OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of funding reform on the productivity of teaching hospitals. METHODS: Based on the Information System of Federal University Hospitals of Brazil, 2003 and 2006 efficiency and productivity were measured using frontier methods with a linear programming technique, data envelopment analysis, and input-oriented variable returns to scale model. The Malmquist index was calculated to detect changes during the study period: "technical efficiency change," or the relative variation of the efficiency of each unit; and "technological change" after frontier shift. RESULTS: There was 51% mean budget increase and improvement of technical efficiency of teaching hospitals (previously 11, 17 hospitals reached the empirical efficiency frontier) but the same was not seen for the technology frontier. Data envelopment analysis set benchmark scores for each inefficient unit (before and after reform) and there was a positive correlation between technical efficiency and teaching intensity and dedication. CONCLUSIONS: The reform promoted management improvements but there is a need of further follow-up to assess the effectiveness of funding changes.


OBJETIVO: Evaluar el impacto de la reforma de financiamiento en la productividad de hospitales de enseñanza. MÉTODOS: A partir del Sistema de Informaciones de los Hospitales Universitarios Federales de Brasil, se construyeron fronteras de eficiencia y productividad en 2003 y 2006 con técnicas de programación linear, por medio de análisis envoltorio de datos, considerando retornos variables de escala y orientación a input. Se calculó el Índice de Malmquist para identificar cambios de desempeño a lo largo de los años con relación a la eficiencia técnica (cociente entre los puntajes de eficiencia en tiempos distintos) y eficiencia tecnológica (desplazamiento de la frontera en el período considerado). RESULTADOS: Hubo aumento del aporte financiero en 51% y de la eficiencia técnica de los hospitales de enseñanza (de 11, pasaron a ser 17 en la frontera empírica de eficiencia), no ocurriendo el mismo con la frontera tecnológica. El uso del análisis envoltorio de datos estableció los benchmarks para las unidades ineficientes (antes y después de la reforma) y los puntajes de eficiencia mostraron una posible correlación entre la eficiencia técnica encontrada y la intensidad y dedicación de enseñanza. CONCLUSIONES: La reforma permitió el desarrollo de mejoras gerenciales, pero es necesario mayor tiempo de acompañamiento para observar cambios más efectivos del modelo de financiamiento.

ABSTRACT

To find out the frequency of patients attending Casualty department of a Teaching Hospital with sudden severe thunderclap headache, their diagnostic out-come and follow up. The study was conducted in Casualty and Medical, Departments of Saidu Teaching Hospital, Saidu Sharif, from January 2006 to December 2006. Out of 22,000 patients with different Medical problems attended Casualty department during study period of which 128 cases had acute severe thunderclap headache. Age range was 15 to 80 years with mean age of 46 +/- 10 years. Seventy eight patients [61%] were female and fifty [39%] were male. Protocol included proper clinical examination, basic laboratory investigations, admission to the General medical ward / Intensive care unit for observation, treatment and follow-up. CT scan of brain and or lumber puncture was performed in all the studied patients. The in-hospital follow up period was from two to fourteen days. The patients were reviewed one month later after discharge from hospital. Out of 120 patients twenty cases [15.6%] had Subarachnoid haemorrhage [SAH] seven patients [5.4%] had Cerebral infarction, five patients [3.9%] had an Intracerebral Haematoma. Five patients [3.9%] had aseptic meningitis. Two cases [1.5%] were reported as cerebral edema. One case [0.8%] had venous sinus thrombosis. As there was no specific finding on investigations and follow up of 88 cases [69%]: these were labeled as idiopathic thunder-clap headache. Past history of not more than three similar episodes was present in 33 cases [25.78%]. Out of these 33 cases, thirty belonged to the benign group of 88; other three cases had organic causes. Clinical diagnosis of Migraine was made in 37 cases out of these 88 cases. Attack of severe thunderclap headache is not an un-common emergency. Attack due to Subarachnoid haemorrhage [SAH] or other serious underlying disease cannot be distinguished from non specific headaches on clinical grounds alone. It is recommended that all such patients be hospitalized and investigated properly with CT scan and or lumbar puncture to distinguish between benign and organic headaches

ABSTRACT

A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the level of patients' satisfaction with hospital care in Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal among inpatients during the month of May 2007. Interview schedule was developed covering certain domains regarding patients care. Overall satisfaction level was determined by using a summated Likert score. Most of the patients (260, 74.1%) were satisfied with the overall care received. Patients were found to be unsatisfied in the domains pertaining to admission procedure (145, 41.3%), comfort and cleanliness (164, 46.7%), food service (194, 55.3%). Patient admitted in the Obstetrics and Gynecology ward showed a significantly higher level of dissatisfaction as compared to patients from other departments (p<0.03).
