Abstract
Introduction:
Patient satisfaction is a patient reported outcome measure that contributes to the evaluation of the services we provide as health care professionals. We aimed to identify factors associated with satisfaction with perioperative care in adults undergoing surgery.
Methods:
Cross-sectional study in which the Evaluation du Vécu de l’Anesthésie Générale (EVAN-G) questionnaire, validated and translated into Spanish, was administered to adults scheduled for elective surgery. Global satisfaction values and scores for its domains were recorded. Bivariate analyses were conducted between scores and sociodemographic/clinical characteristics of patients.
Results:
A total of 115 patients were analysed. The dimension with the highest score was Attention (87.3%), while the lowest scores were Pain (68.8%) and Waiting (68.5%). The overall satisfaction index was 79.1%. There were no significant correlations between scores and patient characteristics.
Conclusions:
Patients were close to an ideal satisfaction score with perioperative care. Our weakest domains were Pain and Waiting, and future strategies should be designed to improve these aspects.
