Abstract:
Objective To provide reference and ideas for information service in hospital library by analyzing the influencing factors for its service satisfaction.Methods The satisfaction of hospitalized patients for information service was investigated.The characteristics of patients,their requirements for information service and the influencing factors for their satisfaction were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.Their satisfaction for information service was assessed according to the IPA method and analyzed using the SPSS19.0.P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results Health information was provided for 221 patients.No significant difference was found in sex,age,education level between the importance of information service and the influence of satisfaction for information service (P>0.05).The importance of information service and the satisfaction of patients for information service were rather high.IPA analysis showed that the patients considered high the importance of library-provided personal bibliography and departments-provided health pamphlets with a low satisfaction,which should thus be solved.Conclusion The satisfaction of patients for information service is good.However,the importance of library-provided personal bibliography and departments-provided health pamphlets is high and the satisfaction for them is low.It is thus necessary for librarians to improve their service and encourage more medical staff to participate in information service for patients.
