Abstract 466P
Background
The daycare caters to numerous cancer patients. Patient satisfaction is a surrogate estimator of the quality of healthcare. Determination of the factors responsible for this will help to improve patient care delivery.
Methods
Women with breast or ovarian malignancies undergoing chemotherapy at the medical oncology daycare unit from 1st January 2023 to 1st April 2023 were invited to complete the PSS questionnaire anonymously. The PSS tool is an abbreviated 28 item questionnaire related to administrative services, medical team members and the treating consultant. The response options comprised a 5-point Likert scale. The raw scores were linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale and patients scoring more than 60 were considered as satisfied.
Results
A total of 117 patients participated in the study. There was a high level of overall satisfaction rate (93.2%). Availability of social support and health insurance were significant determinants of patient satisfaction (p=0.0043 and p=0.0006 respectively). The median waiting time was 3 hours with a satisfaction rate of 84%. The satisfaction rate for secretarial assistance, medical staff and the treating physician were 94%, 94% and 93.2% respectively. The patients’ likelihood of returning to our daycare for and recommending it to others were 97.4% and 96.6% respectively.
Conclusions
Ensuring availability of social support, provision of health insurance and effective patient-physician communication is likely to increase patient satisfaction.
