The surgery satisfaction questionnaire (SSQ) and consultation satisfaction questionnaire (CSQ) are validated tools for measuring patient satisfaction in general practice. These instruments accurately reflect patient experiences and should be used in future research.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Patient Experience Measurement
  • General Practice Research

Background:

  • Patient satisfaction is a key indicator of healthcare quality.
  • Validated instruments are crucial for accurately assessing patient satisfaction.
  • Existing tools may not adequately capture satisfaction in general practice settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate the Surgery Satisfaction Questionnaire (SSQ) and Consultation Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ).
  • To establish the reliability and accuracy of these questionnaires for general practice.
  • To provide evidence for the use of these specific instruments in research.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving patients from general practices in Bristol and Cheltenham.

  • Two groups of patients were studied: those who had changed practices (group 1) and randomly selected patients (group 2).
  • The SSQ and CSQ were administered to assess patient satisfaction and its correlation with continuity of care.

    • Main Results:

    • High completion rates were achieved for both questionnaires across both patient groups.
    • Both the SSQ and CSQ demonstrated significant differences in satisfaction scores, aligning with predicted outcomes.
    • The questionnaires effectively differentiated between patients based on their assessed level of continuity of care.

    Conclusions:

    • The Surgery Satisfaction Questionnaire (SSQ) and Consultation Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ) are valid measures for assessing patient satisfaction.
    • These validated instruments can be reliably used in general practice research.
    • The study supports the development and use of tested instruments over untested ones.
