          Abstract

          Objectives

          To describe inmates’ perceptions of healthcare quality in Catalonian prisons.

          Material and method

          Transversal study of 6,856 inmates in Catalan prisons in September 2017. Randomized simple screening was used to randomly distribute 1,048 polls in which different aspects of perceived quality of healthcare were evaluated. The results were also categorized according to age, sex, time spent in prison, background and academic levels. We also analysed the differences between results in healthcare quality according to socio-demographic variables.

          Results

          84.87% of patients show satisfaction with the quality of healthcare received. Women are more satisfied with consultations than men (OR: 2.04; p = 0.009). Patients with a higher educational level are less satisfied than those with a lower educational level, with significant differences in 11 of the 14 items. Those over 65 years of age were more satisfied than the rest in 11 of the 14 items evaluated. Foreign patients were more satisfied than Spanish inmates in time flexibility (OR: 0.69; p = 0.018) and in waiting times for visits (OR: 0,63; p = 0.006), whereas they are less satisfied with the healthcare professionals’ image (OR: 1.97; p = 0.03).

          Discussion

          Noteble features of our study include the fact that although global satisfaction is high, some dimensions, like reliability, could improve. The results were submitted to the General Directorate to enable more in-depth study of the variables where there is less satisfaction and to design further improvements.

          Resumen

          Objetivos

          Describir la calidad asistencial percibida por los reclusos de las prisiones de Cataluña.

          Material y método

          Estudio transversal realizado sobre los 6.856 pacientes reclusos en Cataluña en septiembre del 2017. Mediante un muestreo aleatorio simple, se distribuyeron de forma aleatoria 1.048 encuestas, donde se evaluaron las diferentes dimensiones de calidad asistencial. Los resultados se presentan categorizados por edad, sexo, tiempo de permanencia en prisión, origen y nivel de estudios. Además, se analizan las diferencias de resultados de calidad asistencial según las variables sociodemográficas.

          Resultados

          El 84,87% de los pacientes se muestran satisfechos con la calidad asistencial recibida. Las mujeres están más satisfechas con las instalaciones de las consultas médicas que los hombres, con una razón de posibilidades (OR, odds ratio) de 2,04; p = 0,009. Los pacientes con nivel educativo superior están menos satisfechos que los de menor nivel educativo, con diferencias significativas en 11 de los 14 ítems valorados. Los mayores de 65 años están más satisfechos que el resto, en 11 de los 14 ítems. Los pacientes extranjeros están más satisfechos que los nacionales en la flexibilidad horaria (OR: 0,69; p = 0,018) y en el tiempo de espera de las visitas (OR: 0,63; p = 0,006, en cambio, están menos satisfechos con la imagen del personal sanitario (OR: 1,97; p = 0,03).

          Discusión

          Se destaca que, pese a que la satisfacción global es elevada, algunas dimensiones, como la confiabilidad, podrían mejorarse. Los resultados han sido transmitidos a la Dirección General, con el fin de profundizar en el estudio de las variables que presentan menor satisfacción y así diseñar un proyecto de mejora.

          Patient satisfaction with and recommendation of a primary care provider: associations of perceived quality and patient education.

          To identify whether attributes of perceived clinic quality and patient education are associated with patient satisfaction and recommendation of a primary care provider. Data used in this study were obtained through a national telephone survey by random sampling. Clinics throughout Taiwan. A total of 1910 patients. Overall patient satisfaction and recommendation were measured by single item questions. Attributes of clinic quality were measured using 11 items: doctor's technical skill (four items), doctor's interpersonal skill (three items), staff care and access (four items). Patient education was measured on the basis of education provided on disease prevention and control during the visit. With regard to clinic quality, doctor's technical skill was most related to overall satisfaction and recommendation, followed by doctor's interpersonal skill. Staff care and access were associated with overall satisfaction but were not associated with recommendation. Patient education was related to both overall satisfaction and recommendation. Doctor's technical skill is the most critical attribute of primary care quality for both overall satisfaction and recommendation, followed by doctor's interpersonal skill. Staff care and access are associated with improved overall satisfaction but not related to increasing the likelihood of recommending a clinic to relatives and friends. Doctor's technical and interpersonal skills rather than staff care and access can be the essence of quality competition in the primary care market. Providing patient education during the visit on how to prevent or control diseases may also relate to improved patient satisfaction and recommendation.
