ABSTRACT

 

The present study focuses on the evaluation of the satisfaction of users and subjects of care in a hospital service. A simple cross-sectional descriptive research design was used and data were collected through a questionnaire with 15 questions addressing dimensions such as empathy, responsibility, technical capacity, communication and tangible goods. The results show that the majority of respondents are satisfied with the service, with no significant differences according to sociodemographic variables. However, lower satisfaction is observed among accompanying persons in the dimensions of responsibility and tangible goods. It is concluded that satisfaction is high in several dimensions of nursing care, but a lack of tangible resources is noted due to the shortage of personnel during data collection. It is recommended that similar studies be conducted in other hospitals to obtain a more complete representation of the perception of nursing care in different hospital settings.

RESUMEN

 

El presente estudio se centra en la evaluación de la satisfacción de usuarios y sujetos de atención en un servicio hospitalario. Se utiliza un diseño de investigación descriptiva transversal simple y se recopilan datos a través de un cuestionario con 15 preguntas que abordan dimensiones como empatía, responsabilidad, capacidad técnica, comunicación y bienes tangibles. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los encuestados están satisfechos con la atención, sin diferencias significativas según variables sociodemográficas. Sin embargo, se observa una menor satisfacción entre los acompañantes en las dimensiones de responsabilidad y bienes tangibles. Se concluye que la satisfacción es alta en varias dimensiones de la atención enfermera, pero se señala una falta de recursos tangibles debido a la escasez de personal durante la recolección de datos. Se recomienda llevar a cabo estudios similares en otros hospitales para obtener una representación más completa de la percepción sobre la atención de enfermería en diferentes entornos hospitalarios.

INTRODUCTION

The satisfaction of the user/subject of care and those accompanying him/her is an indicator of the quality of care provided by the nursing team, hence the importance of evaluating it and detecting opportunities for improvement. Studies on this subject with nursing care in hospitalized users have recently presented a boom motivated, among other things, by considering it as an indicator of compliance with the care provided by this staff and of the quality of the service provided. The satisfaction of the user/subject of care is measured through different indicators, one of which considers the evaluation through dimensions.(1,2)

The concept of "User" in the context of health services refers to the person who seeks and chooses to use these services to address their health care needs. It is crucial to understand that health care must be designed in a way that is tailored and responsive to the needs and expectations of these users.(3) Satisfaction of people receiving health care has become a key element in assessing the performance of healthcare institutions. This approach highlights the importance of providing quality care that is sensitive to patient's individual preferences and concerns.(4)

On the other hand, the term "Subject of Care" refers to the person who will be the object of care and attention in the Medical Clinic Service of the Comodoro Rivadavia Zonal Hospital. This subject of care, which may be a hospitalized patient, depends to a great extent on the quality of nursing care and medical attention he/she receives during his/her stay in the hospital. Nursing care is a set of care provided by nurses that goes beyond purely technical aspects. It implies a committed attitude on the part of the nursing team, which should be oriented towards monitoring and preserving the health of the subject of care, regardless of his or her condition or severity.(5)

The "Level of Satisfaction" refers to the degree of positive or negative perception that users have regarding the care provided by the nursing team in the medical clinic service of the Regional Hospital of Comodoro Rivadavia in Chubut. Measuring this level of satisfaction is essential to evaluate the quality of medical care and the user's experience in the hospital.(6,7,8)

Nowadays, hospitals offering inpatient services face internal challenges, and the nursing team plays a crucial role as an intermediary between medical staff and patients.(9,10) The satisfaction of users and their companions is an increasingly relevant issue in health care and health services management.(11) This importance is due to significant changes in the relationship between patients and health professionals resulting from the evaluation of the quality of health services.

The satisfaction of users and subjects of care is a complex process influenced by various factors and has become a key focus in the improvement of hospital practices. User feedback plays an essential role in assessing the quality of care, and factors such as communication, empathy, and the technical ability of nursing professionals are significant predictors of the evaluation of the care received.(12,13,14)

To ensure the quality of nursing care, the healthcare team must healthcare ethical, humane, and effective relationships with patients and their families. In addition, precise and agile mechanisms are required to measure and evaluate the quality of nursing care and to establish improvement plans according to the findings.(15) Ongoing evaluation is essential to identify areas that need attention and to work toward continuous improvement of nursing practice.(16,17)

The present study aims to determine whether there is a difference in the level of satisfaction with regard to nursing care perceived by the users/subjects of care and the level of satisfaction perceived by those accompanying them.

 

METHODS

The design corresponds to a simple cross-sectional descriptive research.

The sample was non-probabilistic by convenience and corresponded to all users/subjects of care and companions who were hospitalized in the Medical Clinic Service with 48 hours or more of hospitalization in the service in August 2021 and who met the inclusion criteria at the time of data collection.

The results obtained through the statistical analysis carried out with SPSS, to measure the reliability of the instrument and verify that it has internal consistency, the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was used, obtaining a value greater than 0,8, which is considered good.

 

Inclusion Criteria

·      All users/subjects of care and accompanying persons of the Medical Clinic Service who stay 48 hours or more in the inpatient service.

·      Users/subjects of care oriented in time, space, and person.

·      Accompanying persons oriented in time, space, and person.

·      Having signed the informed consent form.

 

Exclusion Criteria

·      Illiterate users/subjects of care.

·      Users/subjects of care who are not in the service at the time of the data collection.

·      Users/subjects of care not oriented in time, space, and person.

·      Illiterate companions.

·      Accompanying persons who are not in the service at the time of the information survey.

·      Accompanying persons not oriented in time and space.

·      Not having signed the informed consent form.

The technique used is the survey. When the data collection instrument was prepared (see appendix), it was presented to a group of experts for evaluation, and it was also tested in the inpatient surgical clinic service of the Regional Hospital of Comodoro Rivadavia. This service has the same characteristics as the service selected to develop this research. The observations of the experts (members of the Training and Teaching Committee of the Regional Hospital Dr. Manuel Sanguinetti Comodoro Rivadavia) were taken into account to survey definitively in order to carry out this research.

The Likert scale was used, with a weighting from 1 to 5, where:

1- corresponds to "Not satisfied."

2- corresponds to "Not very satisfied."

3- corresponds to "Satisfied".

4- corresponds to "Very satisfied."

5- corresponds to "Extremely satisfied."

This scale was used to measure the 15 questions that were developed in accordance with the variables to be studied. In order to carry out the questionnaire, a note requesting authorization (see appendix) was sent to the head of the Nursing Service of the Medical Clinic, the head of the Nursing Department of the Regional Hospital, and the Director of Nursing of the hospital.

Once the users/subjects of care and accompanying persons who met the inclusion criteria had been identified, they were asked to participate by means of the informed consent form (see appendix).

It was explained to the user/subject of care and companion that they were free to withdraw from the study at any time they wished, and the instrument was applied by means of an interview.

To assess the location of the user/care subject and companion in person, place, and time, as well as to verify their ability to communicate verbally, they were asked their name, where they were, and how many days they had been hospitalized, and then the instrument was applied.

First of all, the informed consent form was given to the patient to read, understand, and complete personal data. To measure the satisfaction of the user/subject of attention and companion with the nursing care, the Questionnaire Satisfaction of users and companions with the nursing care received in the Medical Clinic Service of the Comodoro Rivadavia Regional Hospital was used.

This instrument is made up of 15 open questions that make it possible to evaluate the level of satisfaction of the users/subjects of attention and companions of the nursing care they received during their hospitalization period in the Medical Clinic Service of the Regional Hospital of Comodoro Rivadavia, by means of a rating from 1 to 5.

Data collection through the survey was carried out on a total of 133 people, of whom 69 were users/subjects of care and 63 companions, who stayed more than 48 hours of hospitalization in the medical clinic service of the regional hospital of Comodoro Rivadavia.

Initially, the users/subjects of care and accompanying persons were asked to participate, considering the inclusion criteria for the study. They were presented with the informed consent form detailing the objective of the research, and their signature was requested in order to confirm their participation.

 

RESULTS

A total of 133 surveys were carried out on users/subjects of attention and companions of the nursing care received in the Medical Clinic service of the Hospital Zona de Comodoro Rivadavia, all of which were answered anonymously with the prior signature of the informed consent form.

 

Reliability analysis of the instrument used

To measure the reliability of the instrument and verify that it has internal consistency, Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was used, obtaining a value greater than 0,8, which is considered good.

Statistical tests for each variable studied

The Chi-Square test with the Monte Carlo test, both with values of p>0,05, indicates that there is no relationship between the level of satisfaction obtained and the sex of the respondents. There is also no relationship between the level of satisfaction obtained and the age range of the respondents.

As for the relationship between the level of satisfaction and the level of education, it was shown that there is no relationship between the level of satisfaction obtained and the level of education of the respondents.

Analyzed the response according to the empathy dimension, there is no statistically significant difference in the level of satisfaction between users and companions. However, in the responsibility dimension, there is a statistically significant difference between the level of satisfaction of users and accompanying persons. According to the chi-square statistical test, the level of satisfaction of the accompanying persons was lower. p = 0,016.

DISCUSSION

Based on the findings, we accept the tentative hypothesis that users/subjects of care and accompanying persons hospitalized for 48 hours or more in the medical clinic service of the regional hospital of Comodoro Rivadavia express a high level of satisfaction with the nursing care provided.

There is also a strong and essential correlation with the level of satisfaction perceived among users/subjects of care and their respective companions in the Medical Clinic Service of the Comodoro Rivadavia Regional Hospital.

In this study, the level of satisfaction with the nursing care provided by the nursing staff of the medical clinic service was investigated; the findings reveal that 46 % of the users expressed "very satisfied" with the level of satisfaction with the nursing care; these results are related to the study by Collantes Delgado.(18)

In general, knowing the level of satisfaction with the nursing care perceived by those accompanying the hospitalized user allows us to find solutions and increase our quality of service. The results found are in line with what Ramos Frausto states; these authors express that 58,84 % of the accompanying family members rate the perceived level of nursing care as very good, which is in line with what is found in this study. However, what does not agree with the authors referred to in this study is that 41,2 % of those surveyed had incomplete primary schooling, and in this study, these results have yet to be found.(19)

Other studies have shown that there is no statistical relationship between sex, age, age group, and satisfaction.(18,20,21,22,23,24)

 

CONCLUSIONS 

Despite considering several sociodemographic variables, no significant influence on satisfaction was found. The results indicated a high level of satisfaction in several dimensions, such as empathy, responsibility, technical capacity, communication, and tangible goods. The main difficulty identified was the need for tangible resources, such as room conditioning and hygiene, attributed to the shortage of personnel during data collection.

 

RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the findings, it is recommended to conduct other studies in which the study sample includes other hospitals in the health sector, which will allow a better representation of the population, as well as the perception of nursing care in different hospitals.
