摘要
A sample of 154,893 patient responses from the Customer Satisfaction Survey database was drawn for 1999 to 2000. Average patient satisfaction levels consistently appeared to be high (between 6, very satisfied, and 7, completely satisfied, on the 7-point rating scale). Hierarchical regression results essentially replicated all three major constructs of an earlier theoretical attitude model. Refinements included adjustment and addition of categorical age and military beneficiary status for individual patient variables, addition of two beliefs about the care itself, substitution of waiting time variables, and addition of reason for visit situation variables. Hypothesis test results indicated that patient satisfaction constructs were homogeneous across the uniformed services for patients from all service branches, both enrolled and not enrolled within TRICARE regions, and among branch of service medical center, hospital, and clinic facilities. The final attitude model coefficient of multiple determinations obtained was R-2 = 0.701 [F(25,154,867) = 14,539.33, p < 0.0001].
