Abstract:
Objective:To investigate and analyze the awareness, utilization, and satisfaction of patients with chronic diseases (hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus), as well as the influencing factors related to health management services for chronic diseases in basic public health service projects in Zhejiang Province, in order to promote the development of effective health management services for chronic diseases.
Methods:Between September and November 2017, 960 local patients with chronic diseases aged 35 years or older were randomly selected in eight counties (cities/districts) in Zhejiang province using the random number table, based on the chronic disease information from the information management system. A total of 394 (41.04%) male and 566 (58.96%) female patients, with an average age of (68.02±10.02) years, participated in this study. Face-to-face questionnaires were used to collect patients’ awareness, utilization, and satisfaction with health management services for chronic diseases. The awareness of health management services for chronic diseases and their utilization status were described and analyzed by statistical rate indicators. Possible factors affecting the awareness and utilization status were analyzed by χ2 test and logistic regression. Satisfaction scores of patients with chronic diseases were analyzed by means and standard deviation. T-test was used to compare the satisfaction level with service items (service convenience, service environment, waiting time, medical skill level, and service attitude) between urban and rural patients with chronic diseases. Finally, multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine overall satisfaction.
Results:The overall awareness of health management services for chronic diseases in chronic disease patients was 96.15%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that patients who lived in developed regions, rural areas, and patients who did not live alone had more awareness of health management services (OR= 0.347, 3.563, and 0.281, all P <0.05). The overall utilization rate of health management services for chronic diseases in chronic disease patients was 94.58%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that patients who lived in developed regions and rural areas showed better utilization of health management services (OR= 0.297 and 4.145, all P<0.05). The average satisfaction score of patients for all items of health management services was above nine. The satisfaction scores of chronic disease patients in rural areas regarding service convenience, service environment, waiting time, and service attitude were better than those of chronic disease patients in urban areas (t=-2.157, -3.614, -3.164, -2.879, all P<0.05). The overall satisfaction score regarding health management services for chronic diseases was 92.95%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that patients who purchased health insurance for urban and rural residents reported higher overall satisfaction with health management services for chronic diseases compared to those patients who purchase other medical insurance (OR=2.943, P<0.05).
Conclusion:The current level of awareness, utilization, and satisfaction with health management services for chronic diseases among chronic disease patients in Zhejiang province should be further improved. Moreover, attention should be paid to the balanced development of urban and rural areas to further increase the equality level of basic public health services.
