Bridging the Gap: A Comparative Analysis of Healthcare Quality Perceptions Between the Older People and Healthcare Providers.
In our study aimed at improving the healthcare system for the aging population, we compared healthcare quality evaluations between 96 older individuals and 30 healthcare providers in Split-Dalmatia County (Croatia). Using nonparametric analyses such as the Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests on Likert scale questionnaire scores, we found most participants highlighted challenges such as healthcare affordability, long wait times, reliance on private care, poor public transportation, and insufficient rural healthcare services. Healthcare providers rated these quality indicators even more negatively. Both groups rated healthcare for dementia patients notably lower, while emergency response, treatment quality, and hospitalization ease were generally rated positively. The heightened awareness among healthcare providers raises the question: why is there a significant delay between recognizing these problems and implementing effective solutions to address them?
期刊介绍:
Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine (GGM) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed open access journal where scholars from a variety of disciplines present their work focusing on the psychological, behavioral, social, and biological aspects of aging, and public health services and research related to aging. The journal addresses a wide variety of topics related to health services research in gerontology and geriatrics. GGM seeks to be one of the world’s premier Open Access outlets for gerontological academic research. As such, GGM does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers will be subjected to rigorous peer review but will be selected solely on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication. By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, GGM facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers.
