| Popis: | Aims: To assess the level of patient satisfaction with the various aspects of interaction of the health provider with the patient such as communication, examination and information regarding prescription in the allopathic public health facilities of Lucknow district. Settings and Design: Public health facilities of Lucknow district, India. Introduction: Satisfaction in service provision is increasingly being used as a measure of health system performance. The satisfaction with the service provider i.e., the prescriber is a vital component of the whole process of consultation and largely determines the compliance of the patient to the treatment prescribed. Apart from this, satisfaction also varies according to the sociodemographic characteristics of the beneficiaries. We have therefore tried to study these factors in the present study. Materials and Methods: Multistage stratified random sampling was used to select the health facilities while the patients were selected by systematic random sampling for the interview. Statistical Analysis: Number and percentages, mean and c 2 test. Results: The overall satisfaction regarding the doctor patient communication and certain aspects of examination was highest for the residents (75.4%) followed by the super specialists (71.5%) and specialists (69.1%). Conclusions: The findings of the study will help us educate the prescribers about the various neglected areas of the consultation which will go a long way to develop a consistent relationship between the providers and the beneficiaries for the attainment of the Health for All. |
