[A factoranalytical study of spa patients' attitudes towards their treatment (author's transl)]

With the aid of a standardised questionnaire 558 patients under spa treatment for three weeks, at different spa clinics of the LVA Württemberg, were asked for their attitude towards the treatment. All metric variables were subject to a factor analysis the result of which was three factors orthoganically placed to one another. We called them "factor of overall satisfaction with the stay at the spa clinic," factor of disinterested, and "factor of respectful and satisfactory communication between patients under treatment and the clinical staff."
