Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Net Promoter Score (NPS) in measuring parental satisfaction in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) in Brazil.
- The research involved interviewing 78 parents or guardians of PICU patients and comparing NPS results with the established EMPATHIC-30 tool, finding that NPS was highly sensitive but lacked specificity in identifying dissatisfied respondents.
- While the NPS showed 100% sensitivity at most cutoff points, its ability to accurately pinpoint unhappy users was significantly limited, indicating a need for complementary assessment methods.
