The results indicated that, the three visiting experience indicators, i.e., soundscape tranquil degree (STD), landscape aesthetic degree (LAD) and visiting satisfaction degree (VSD) were positively related with each other, and LAD (correlation coefficients = 0.728, p < 0.01) was more associated with VSD than STD (correlation coefficients = 0.565, p < 0.01).
By means of ranking indicators, patients indicated the importance of different patient experience indicators (CQI themes derived from the Dutch Consumer Quality Index questionnaire), clinical performance indicators, and indicators about hospital services.
Considering the effects of all associated factors, key factors were detected for each of the visiting experience indicators.
All the three visiting experience indicators showed negative relationships with certain traffic sounds, while tree rustling sound was the only sound showing positive relationship with STD.
Litter, tree and plant damage, and fire rings had the greatest effect on hiking experience indicators; trail extension and widening and trail erosion had a moderate effect; and muddiness had a minimal effect on experience.
Sjetne et al., for example, reported ICCs ranging from 0.002-0.065 for several patient experience indicators [ 31].
Clusters were significantly associated with all patient-experience indicators (p < 0.001; Table 3).
Participants were asked to rank the importance of three types of quality indicators: patient experience indicators, clinical performance indicators, and indicators about hospital services.
The response groups were significantly associated with nine patient-experience indicators (p < 0.001), and all groups were significantly different from each of the other groups on a majority of the patient-experience indicators.
