Abstract:
Objective An attempt to develop a patient survey questionnaire on the public benefit nature of medical institutions as seen by patients,along with an evaluation of its reliability and validity.Methods A field survey was conducted among the patients visiting these institutions.The Cronbach's α coefficient was calculated to test the reliability.Factor analysis and spearman correlation analysis were applied to test the validity.The validity was also tested by analyzing the demographic factors and comparing the results between different kinds of medical institutions.Results The Cronbach's α coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.853,meanwhile the Cronbach's α coefficient of the three items was 0.845(quality of care),0.845 (suitability of services) and 0.752 (professional ethics).Three common factors were extracted,which coincided with the three items-quality of care,suitability of services and professional ethics.And the results are hardly affected by common demographic characteristics.Condusion The reliability of the questionnaire was acceptable,and the items were reasonably divided in the questionnaire with good structural validity.The questionnaire can be widely applied to evaluate the public benefit nature of medical institutions.
