- Abstract:
- The aim of this study is to compare psychiatric patients' satisfaction with their treatment in Munich and in South Tirol. For this purpose, besides clinical and social-demographic factors, for each sample-group of patients, their general satisfaction, their valuation of the different aspects of hospital treatment and life quality were considered and compared. The relevance of these elements in the global satisfaction was examined with linear multiple regression models. The results of the research show a rather high level of global satisfaction in both sample-groups, even if statistically relevant differences occur in evaluations of several aspects of the treatment. In Munich's sample-group a higher rate of satisfaction emerged in relation with the treatment: the attitude of the medical staff, the psycho-pharmacological treatments, the clinic's image and the conduct of the nursing staff. In both groups the most relevant factor for patients' satisfaction, besides the positive results of the treatment, was the attitude of the doctor, and in particular way his empathy with the patient. In regard to the age, the diagnosis and the duration of the hospitalization, it was not possible to demonstrate, in both sample-groups, any statistically relevant connection with the general satisfaction rate, while a high rate of trust in the doctors and in the medicines was found to be, in each group, a significant condition for a positive evaluation of the treatment. The influence of the personal life-quality was proven statistically relevant but weak. Altogether, regardless of the medical structure that was examined, the results underline the predominant importance of the curing doctor's social and emotional skills for patients' satisfaction.
