The operator feedback on clarity of instructions, ease of handling of the device and procedure satisfaction was evaluated in a prestructured pro forma.
Secondary outcomes will be patients' procedure satisfaction measured by patient satisfaction questions (included in EPIC score), postprocedural pain management and VAS pain score, time to ambulation, length of hospital stay.
Patient preferences have been shown to play a role in choice of management and in post-procedure satisfaction, [ 1, 8, 9] regardless of which management approach is chosen [ 9].
Assessment of operator feedback regarding the clarity of instructions, ease of handling and procedure satisfaction was performed by a set questionnaire with a scoring system rating each section as excellent, good, adequate, poor and very poor.
The scale assesses three dimensions of patient satisfaction: (1) instrumental (satisfaction with the doctor/nurse's competence), (2) affective (satisfaction with the doctor/nurse's personal qualities) and (3) procedural (satisfaction with administrative procedures, such as waiting time and staff conduct).
This assesses three dimensions of patient satisfaction: (i) instrumental (the extent to which the patient believes the doctor has the required skills and gives the required treatment and reassurance) (alpha=0.69), (ii) affective (satisfaction with personal qualities of the doctor) (alpha=0.79), and (iii) procedural (satisfaction with administrative procedures such as waiting time) (alpha=0.65).
The main outcomes were pain during the procedure as a whole, pain at the most painful moment of the procedure (which was determined by each woman individually, and could be any time between entering and exiting the procedure room), pain after the procedure, and satisfaction with the procedure.
Immediately after MRI and immediately after XRM: Information was collected regarding acceptability, distress caused by procedure, and satisfaction with procedure, and the SSAI-B was administered.
The effect of music in gynaecological office procedures on satisfaction of patients is less frequently examined.
The CHW level outcomes indicate mechanisms and characteristics of performance at the CHW level, such as self-esteem, motivation, attitudes, competencies, adherence to standards and procedures, job satisfaction and capacity to facilitate community agency.
