Abstract

Background: Although there is recent evidence from a range of sources that demonstrates the usefulness of assessing satisfaction with healthcare, there is still a lack of evidence regarding the satisfaction with healthcare received by adult individuals at the EOL in Portugal. Methods: This systematic review aims to examine and synthesize the evidence published through 2024 regarding satisfaction with care received by adult individuals at the EOL in Portugal. Results: Seven studies were included in this review. Six out of the seven studies were quantitative descriptive cross-sectional studies. The majority of them used family caregivers as the source of information. Most studies had small samples that characterized the satisfaction with care received in a palliative care context in a specific region of the country. Sixteen different variables were studied to understand the factors that influence satisfaction with care. The majority of them were related to the personal characteristics of the patient or the family caregiver. No evidence was found regarding the study of variables related to the patient's trajectory, location of care provision, or place of death. Conclusions: The different instruments used in the data collection in all of the included studies made it difficult to compare the results and draw definite conclusions regarding satisfaction with care received by adult individuals at the EOL in Portugal. Although different levels of satisfaction with the care were found, it can be concluded that the results tend to be positive in the palliative care context.

葡萄牙临终关怀满意度:一项系统回顾。
背景:尽管最近有来自各种来源的证据表明评估医疗保健满意度的有用性,但仍然缺乏关于葡萄牙EOL成人个人对医疗保健满意度的证据。方法:本系统综述旨在检查和综合截至2024年发表的关于葡萄牙EOL成年个体对护理满意度的证据。结果:本综述纳入了7项研究。七项研究中有六项是定量描述性横断面研究。他们中的大多数人使用家庭照顾者作为信息来源。大多数研究都是小样本,其特征是在该国特定地区的姑息治疗背景下对所接受的护理的满意度。研究了16个不同的变量,以了解影响护理满意度的因素。其中大多数与患者或家庭照顾者的个人特征有关。未发现与患者轨迹、护理地点或死亡地点相关的变量研究的证据。结论:在所有纳入的研究中,数据收集中使用的不同工具使得很难比较结果并得出关于葡萄牙EOL成人个人对护理满意度的明确结论。虽然不同程度的护理满意度被发现,它可以得出结论,结果往往是积极的姑息治疗背景下。
