    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Patient Experience Research
    • Rural Health

    Background:

    • Patient satisfaction is a critical metric in healthcare quality assessment.
    • Understanding factors influencing satisfaction in obstetric care is essential for improving services.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate patient satisfaction with obstetric care among postpartum women in a rural setting.
    • To identify key determinants of satisfaction using both indirect (scale) and direct (open-ended) measures.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of postpartum women from a rural midwestern county was studied.
    • Satisfaction data were collected via mailed questionnaires, including a validated satisfaction scale and open-ended questions.
    • Birth certificate data identified the study population.

    Main Results:

    • Higher satisfaction scores correlated with good physician continuity and attendance at childbirth classes.
    • Open-ended responses frequently highlighted issues within the physician-patient relationship.
    • Perceived physician concern was a significant factor identified through both satisfaction measures.

    Conclusions:

    • Perceived physician concern is a crucial component of patient satisfaction in obstetric care.
    • Both indirect satisfaction scales and direct patient feedback are valuable for assessing care quality.
    • Improving physician-patient relationships and ensuring continuity of care can enhance obstetric patient satisfaction.
