| Popis: | SummaryBackground In the last few decades, patient satisfaction has become a critical component of quality assessment and is being incorporated into payment for performance plans. However, assessment of satisfaction with anesthesia services is problematic and few validated satisfaction tools have been published. Assessing parent satisfaction with pediatric anesthesia services is even more challenging. Objective Our aim was to develop, implement, and start validating a set of survey questions that evaluate parental satisfaction with the pediatric anesthesia services in order to identify strengths and potential areas for improvement. Methods The Pediatric Anesthesia Parent Satisfaction (PAPS) survey contained 17 questions adapted from the American Society of Anesthesiologists Committee on Outcomes and Performance Measures. With consent of the hospital quality improvement committee, the PAPS survey was randomly administered on iPads to 250 English-speaking parents in the main operating room and procedure center postanesthesia care units prior to discharge. Statistical analyses including descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha and Raykov's rho coefficients, composite scale creation, correlations between items, composite scores, and overall satisfaction measures were used to provide evidence for a subset of validity and reliability types. Results and Conclusions The PAPS survey is a short and simple tool for evaluation of parent satisfaction with pediatric anesthesia services and provides some evidence for validity and reliability. The majority (greater than 95%) of parents reported were satisfied or very satisfied with the care provided by the pediatric anesthesia department. |
