AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW ON PATIENT SATISFACTION MEASURING TOOL FOR PHYSIOTHERAPY CARE AMONG CLIENTS IN THE OUT-PATIENT DEPARTMENT
Keywords:
Patient Satisfaction, Outpatient Physical therapy, Satisfaction Tool, Psychometric properties, Quality of health care, Quality assessment, Health careAbstract
Background and Aims: Patient satisfaction is acknowledged as the corner stone of quality management and it is the paramount of any quality management program in health care system. This study is aimed to conduct an up-to-date systematic review on different validated tools that provide quantification of patient satisfaction in out-patient physical therapy services.
Type: Systematic review
Literature survey: An extensive literature search was performed using 3 electronic database systems (Google scholar, PubMed, and PEDro) for articles published between 2000 and 2020. Boolean operator AND was used in compilation with the exhaustive list of search terminologies. A total of 19 studies that investigated any patient satisfaction tool in outpatient physiotherapy settings were included.
Methodology: The process of data extraction was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines (2009).
Results: Consensus based standards for the selection of health status measurement instruments (COSMIN) scoring quantified psychometric property of each study as excellent, good, and fair. 8 studies reflected fair scoring of Cronbach alpha, 3 studies showed excellent whereas, 2 appeared to be poor.
Conclusion: The COSMIN scoring quantified multiple patient satisfaction tools. However, no gold standard was found. Nevertheless, physiotherapists working in out-patient care can increase the efficiency of patient-centered treatment by identifying and maximizing these patient satisfaction tool determinants.
