Dr. Nischala Dixit, Dr. Mallikarjuna

Abstract :

 

Anaesthesiologists provide perioperative care throughout the surgical procedure. Patient satisfaction is one of the indicators of the quality of health care provided. The aim of this study was to determine the level of patient satisfaction with patient involvement in decision making. 200 patients, who were operated between May 1 to May 15 2017, were given a standardized questionnaire on postoperative day 1 by the anaesthetist involved in patient care. Data was entered and analysed and chi square test was used to assess the association between each factor and patient satisfaction .Results were presented as percentage of proportion of patients satisfied with our services. 200 patients were operated and 174 patients participated in the study and 96 % were satisfied with our services. The causes of dissatisfaction in the remaining 4 % were postoperative pain, nausea, vomiting, postoperative sore throat and shivering. This could be prevented by an appropriate perioperative plan.
