However, a recent report indicated that there is little evidence of leading Indian researchers working on healthcare quality and related areas in healthcare sector. Moreover, the perception is that whatever research has been conducted is fragmented, very specific in nature and specialised. In light of this, the purpose of the present study is to develop an extensive and systematic literature search on healthcare quality, SQ, development and application of SERVQUAL and to understand the link between SQ and patient satisfaction. The paper further identifies the healthcare quality dimensions and models for HCEs. Finally, it was concluded that further research is necessary to develop conceptual underpinning and analytical models based on quantitative studies. The outcome of this study will help Indian healthcare practitioners and quality experts to take initiative in implementing hospital SQ dimensions in their organisations as well as may propose a framework/model for enhanced performance.","PeriodicalId":90540,"journal":{"name":"International journal of behavioural & healthcare research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/ijbhr.2015.071465","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66661575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper guides students and novice researchers on objective critical thinking and writing for assignment excellence and publication acceptance respectively, and helps clinicians evaluate healthcare and behavioural literature thus taking better decisions for the patient. The article touches the hierarchy of study designs and the critical appraisal principles of causality, reliability, validity and execution including statistical issues. Moreover, it looks at other aspects like title appropriateness, standardised English writing style, data presentation, referencing quality and extraneous factors such as competing interests. Objective measurements should also be critically evaluated. Even a review paper of other peer-reviewed reviews has to be critically evaluated. Creating debate between authors is recommended. Triangulation and reflexivity are important for qualitative research rigour. Issues of originality versus repeatability and ethical aspects including risk assessment and sample size justification are appropriately covered. Critical evaluation questions what the research has contributed to society. An element of scepticism is essential for critical thinking. Critical analysis should first be applied to one's own work by going through a set of ask-yourself-questions.","PeriodicalId":90540,"journal":{"name":"International journal of behavioural & healthcare research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/ijbhr.2015.071480","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66661366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was investigated whether subgroups of patients in vocationally oriented medical rehabilitation (VOMR) can be distinguished regarding their degree of perceived participatory involvement and whether different degrees of perceived involvement during the consultation were associated with the motivation to deal with work-related problems and the satisfaction with treatment decision-making, the doctor-patient interaction and overall treatment. Data from a previous study including 283 orthopaedic rehabilitation patients were re-analysed. Latent class analysis yielded four types of perceived involvement (shared decision-making; patient-centred interaction with vs. without involvement in decision-making; no involvement). Higher involvement was associated with higher satisfaction, but not with the motivation to deal with work-related issues. Perceived involvement can be regarded as a helpful tool in promoting patient-centeredness in work-related medical rehabilitation. The lack of associations with motivation necessitates further research.","PeriodicalId":90540,"journal":{"name":"International journal of behavioural & healthcare research","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/ijbhr.2015.071466","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66661669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In departing from the medical tourism literature, this paper consists of a critical literature review organised to establish what is known about international medical travel, hence, contributing towards the development of a more rigorous conceptual framework for this type of travel. Based on secondary data, tourism connotations are distinguished from international travel for medical purposes, since the design and implementation of effective marketing strategies aimed at the medical tourism market are challenged by a lack of understanding of the drivers and impediments that influence patients' decisions when demand is for medical treatment. Attention is given to the definition of medical travel, its product, consumer and destination success factors. Consideration of the nature of the medical travel product suggests that relational strategies may be justified. Recommendations are made for further research.","PeriodicalId":90540,"journal":{"name":"International journal of behavioural & healthcare research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/ijbhr.2015.071476","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66661362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this connection, the objectives of the paper are to explore the reasons for purchasing private health insurance and to identify the determinants of private health insurance in East Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh. Simple ratios and logistic regression techniques have been employed for analysis. The study found that being sure of getting into hospital quickly, fear of large medical or hospital bills are very important among the reasons for purchasing private health insurance in the district. The determinant analysis suggests that health insurance purchase decision has been determined by annual income, annual health expenditure, household size and gender rather than age, education, marital status, smoking, alcohol use and environmental rating. Economic development programs should help enhance income to reach a higher standard of living and in doing so boosts their economic access to health insurance policies and the relevant health services. This implies that health insurance policies should be completed with the development strategies of the government so that people have better purchasing power and hence access to the healthcare services.","PeriodicalId":90540,"journal":{"name":"International journal of behavioural & healthcare research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/ijbhr.2015.071474","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66661319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
