Abstract

Purpose: Good health status has traditionally been linked to greater levels of patient satisfaction. With the emergence and integration of various medical modalities, including Homeopathy, Ayurveda, and other complementary and alternative medical treatments, patients are likely to have different satisfaction levels during their interaction with different practitioners. Amidst this diversity, the efficacy, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness of these treatment approaches have garnered significant attention. Hence, a tool was developed to assess the patient's interaction with Complementary and Alternative Medicine treatments specifically Homeopathy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Patient Satisfaction Assessment Tool (PSAT) developed to assess patient interaction with homeopathic outreach services.

Methods: A new structured questionnaire was developed using a standardized procedure. After obtaining clearance from the scientific and ethics committee of the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, data was collected from consenting participants above 18 years of age attending the Dr. D.P. Rastogi Central Research Institute for Homoeopathy, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. Data was then computerized and analyzed by principal component analysis as the extraction method and orthogonal varimax as the rotation method.

Results: A total of 285 participants were enrolled for psychometric validation, and 254 participants were included in the final analyses after exclusion. The mean (±Standard Deviation) age of participants was 37.63 (±12.9) years (range 18-79). The final 34-item questionnaire was arranged into nine domains as per rotated component matrix analysis. The overall internal consistency of the final questionnaire, as calculated by Cronbach's alpha, was 0.79, and the measure of sampling adequacy was 0.85 (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test).

Conclusion: Initial results from the pilot tests suggest that Patient Satisfaction Assessment Tool (PSAT) is effective in capturing key aspects of patient satisfaction, from homeopathic clinical services which can guide future quality improvement initiatives in alternative medicine healthcare facilities.

印度替代医学医疗机构患者满意度评估工具的心理计量学验证。
目的:传统上,良好的健康状况与较高的患者满意度有关。随着各种医学模式的出现和整合,包括顺势疗法、阿育吠陀和其他补充和替代医学治疗,患者在与不同的医生互动时可能会有不同的满意度。在这种多样性中,这些治疗方法的疗效、可及性和成本效益引起了极大的关注。因此,开发了一种工具来评估患者与补充和替代医学治疗特别是顺势疗法的相互作用。本研究的目的是评估患者满意度评估工具(PSAT)的有效性和可靠性,该工具用于评估患者与顺势疗法外展服务的互动。方法:采用标准化程序编制一份新的结构化问卷。在获得顺势疗法研究中央委员会科学和伦理委员会的许可后,从印度北方邦诺伊达Dr. D.P. Rastogi顺势疗法中央研究所的18岁以上同意参与者中收集数据。然后计算机化处理数据,采用主成分分析法和正交方差法进行提取和旋转。结果:共入组285名受试者进行心理测量验证,经排除后纳入最终分析254名受试者。参与者的平均(±标准差)年龄为37.63(±12.9)岁(范围18-79)。根据旋转成分矩阵分析法,将34项问卷划分为9个域。最终问卷的整体内部一致性经Cronbach's alpha计算为0.79,抽样充分性测度为0.85 (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin检验)。结论:试点测试的初步结果表明,患者满意度评估工具(PSAT)在从顺势疗法临床服务中获取患者满意度的关键方面是有效的,这可以指导替代医学医疗机构未来的质量改进举措。
