Article Synopsis
- Outpatient surgery is the standard for 60-70% of common surgical procedures, and while minimally invasive methods have improved aspects like pain and recovery time, there's limited research on patients' perceived quality of care.
- The study involved a questionnaire completed by 203 patients who had abdominal hernia repairs, focusing on their satisfaction a week post-surgery and overall quality of care a month later, assessing factors like pain, need for at-home care, and information provided.
- Findings revealed that nearly half of the patients required informal care at home, a majority were discharged within 72 hours, and overall satisfaction was high at 94.6%, showing that satisfaction levels were more closely tied to hospitalization duration and pain relief needs than to patient demographics.
Article Synopsis
- Geographical barriers impact hospital healthcare accessibility, prompting the need for structural improvements to enhance it.
- A study compared accessibility costs and patient satisfaction between a new Specialist Centre with a peripheral ambulatory surgery unit and the existing Virgen de la Luz Hospital in Cuenca, Spain, focusing on hernia surgery patients.
- While the costs for using the ambulatory surgery centre were slightly lower than those of the hospital, the lack of significant differences underscored the importance of patient satisfaction in evaluating the effectiveness of alternate healthcare options.
