Summary

Patient satisfaction after podiatric surgery remains stable over time, with the PSQ-10 questionnaire showing reliable results. Some procedures, like neurectomy, show improvement, while digital surgery outcomes require further study.

Area of Science:

  • Podiatric Surgery
  • Patient Outcomes
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • The Podiatric Surgery Audit Tool (PASCOM) is crucial for assessing patient satisfaction and outcomes.
  • Patient satisfaction is a key metric in evaluating healthcare services.
  • The Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire-10 (PSQ-10) is a standard tool for this assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of time post-surgery on patient satisfaction scores.
  • To assess the test-retest reliability of the PSQ-10 in podiatric surgery patients.
  • To identify specific surgical procedures that may influence satisfaction trends.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted using the PSQ-10.
  • Patients undergoing forefoot surgery received a second PSQ-10 after the initial 6-month assessment.

Evaluation of Patients' Posture and Gait Profile After Lumbar Fusion Surgery by Video Rasterstereography and Treadmill Gait Analysis

Published on: March 23, 2019

  • Changes in PSQ-10 scores were analyzed, and internal consistency was tested for reliability.

    • Main Results:

    • Overall patient satisfaction scores showed no significant change over time.
    • 46% of patients reported increased satisfaction, 41% reported decreased satisfaction, and 13% reported no change.
    • Neurectomy patients demonstrated the most improvement, while digital surgery was linked to the greatest decline in satisfaction scores.
    • Test-retest reliability analysis showed significant correlations between baseline questions.

    Conclusions:

    • Time elapsed after podiatric surgery does not significantly alter patient satisfaction levels.
    • The PSQ-10 demonstrates satisfactory consistency and reliability for assessing patient satisfaction.
    • Further research is needed to understand the outcomes associated with digital podiatric surgical procedures.
