Official title:
: Assessment of Patient Satisfaction of Quality of Health Care Service and Treatment Provided by Outpatient Pain Management Clinic in Mansoura, Egypt.
Patient satisfaction has become an important issue in the health services evaluation. It is
equally important to medical results and economical costs of the provided services. Cancer is
a common health problem frequently associated with pain that deserves patient satisfaction
services. Assessment of patients' satisfaction in this sector of diseases is a cornerstone
for optimum pain management. Recently, patient satisfaction is defined as personal evaluation
of the experienced care, denoting both patient characteristics and care realities.
There are many questionnaires to assess patient satisfaction for health care service and
treatment. For health service assessment, Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form
(PSQ-18) is a commonly used one with high reliability. It includes seven dimensions of
patient satisfaction which are general satisfaction, interpersonal manner, communication,
technical quality, time spent with doctor, financial aspects, and accessibility and
convenience.
With regard to patient satisfaction about the provided treatment, Pain Treatment Satisfaction
Scale (PTSS) is routinely applied.
It is well known that any health care system needs continuous evaluation both by the care
givers and patients in order to improve the quality of service. Of course, it is a continuous
process with much variability. There are many studies about patient satisfaction in cancer
patients., however this study is the first in Delta region, Egypt. From this point, the aim
of this study is to evaluate the quality offered by health care services and the treatment
satisfaction among cancer patients attending the outpatient pain management clinics,

unable to complete the study questionnaires were excluded.

inclusion criteria. During the studies, participants complete the paper of the measures while

13), financial aspects (Q 5&7), time spent with the doctor (Q12&15) and accessibility and
convenience (Q 8,9,16 &18).4 Also we evaluated the treatment satisfaction using The Pain
