Patient satisfaction with flexible bronchoscopy (FB) is high, but improvements in information, waiting times, and environment are needed. Better health status and positive procedural experiences increase willingness for repeat flexible bronchoscopy.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Patient Experience Research

Background:

  • Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) is a common procedure.
  • Patient satisfaction is a key indicator of healthcare quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess patient satisfaction with FB.
  • To identify factors influencing willingness to undergo repeat FB.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort study involving 481 patients who completed surveys.
  • Surveys collected data on patient characteristics, care factors, and evaluations.

Main Results:

  • Over 80% rated physicians highly, but satisfaction was lower regarding information, waiting times, and environment.
  • 71% would definitely return for repeat FB.
  • Factors associated with willingness to return included better health status, less discomfort during scope insertion, and higher ratings for information and physician quality.

Conclusions:

  • While physician ratings are high, improving patient information, reducing wait times, and enhancing the FB environment are crucial.
  • Patients with poorer health status may be at higher risk for dissatisfaction.
  • Optimizing the patient experience, particularly scope insertion, and providing better information can improve satisfaction with flexible bronchoscopy.
