| Popis: | The aim is to develop and validate a specific instrument for measuring satisfaction with anxiolytic and hypnotic drug treatment. We determined the questionnaire’s convergent validity with respect to clinical effectiveness, tolerance, and treatment adherence. An observational study was conducted in 171 patients being treated with anxiolytic/hypnotic medications. The questionnaire to assess Treatment Satisfaction with Anxiolytics and Hypnotics (TSAN) was evaluated for reliability, construct validity, and correlation with measurements conceptually related to the said construct. The average score on the TSAN questionnaire was 42.6 points (SD: 8.4), showing a moderate negative correlation with respect to scores obtained on the Goldberg Anxiety (−0.312) and Athens Insomnia (−0.419) scales. The TSAN questionnaire is valid and reliable. It constitutes a patient-centered measurement tool that complements clinical evaluation of the effectiveness of anxiolytic/hypnotic drug treatment. |
