Abstract

Bu çalışmada özel bir diş kliniği tarafından sağlanan veriler ile hasta memnuniyeti ve diş sağlık hizmet kalitesi ölçülmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bağımlı ve bağımsız olarak tanımlanan değişkenler doğrusal regresyon yöntemi baz alınması ile yanıt regresyon optimizasyon metodu kullanılmıştır. Hasta memnuniyetini ve sağlık hizmet kalitesini maksimize edilmesi bakımından hasta cinsiyeti, yaşı, tedavi/muayene ücreti, tedavi/muayene süresi ve türleri bağımsız değişken olarak tanımlanmıştır. 146 hastaya ait veriler cinsiyet ve tedavi/muayene türüne göre kategorize edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları arasında hasta memnuniyeti üzerinde istatistiksel olarak etkili olan yaş, cinsiyet ve tedavi türü sırasıyla 0.01, 0.049 ve 0.01 değerleri yer alarak bu değişkenlerin bağımlı değişkenler üzerinde doğrudan etkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Tedavi/muayene ücret ve süreleri olan diğer iki bağımsız değişkenlerin hasta memnuniyeti üzerinde dolaylı olarak etkisi olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bir erkek hasta için maksimum hasta memnuniyeti ve yüksek sağlık hizmet kalitesini sağlamak adına tedavi/muayene süresi yaklaşık olarak maksimum 152 dakika, minimum maliyet, en fazla 78 yaşında olması koşulu ile %95 (4,114; 5,886) güven aralığında optimum sonuçlara ulaşılabildiği ortaya konulmuştur. Bu optimum değerlerin arzu edilebilirlik derecesi yaklaşık olarak 1.00’dır. Kadın hasta türüne göre arzu edilebilirlik derecesi 0,92 olmakla beraber maksimum hasta memnuniyeti veya sağlık hizmet kalite değeri 4,88 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları ile diğer diş sağlığı merkezleri için klinik yönetim açısından önemli katkı sunmaktadır.

Patient Satisfaction and Dental Health Service Quality In Private Dental Clinics

Year 2022, , 1 - 11, 31.12.2022
https://doi.org/10.52693/jsas.1200905

Abstract

This study aimed to measure patient satisfaction and dental health service quality with the data provided by a private dental clinic. Response regression optimization was used based on the linear regression method for the variables defined as dependent and independent. Regarding maximizing patient satisfaction and health service quality, patient gender, age, treatment/examination fee, treatment/examination duration, and types were independent variables. Data from 146 patients were categorized by gender and type of treatment/examination. Among the results of the study, age, gender, and type of treatment, which are statistically effective on patient satisfaction, were found to be 0.01, 0.049, and 0.01 p values, respectively, and it was determined that these variables had a direct effect on the dependent variables. It was concluded that the other two independent variables indirectly affect patient satisfaction, treatment/examination fees, and durations. To ensure maximum patient satisfaction and high health service quality for a male patient, it has been revealed that optimum results can be achieved at the 95% (4.114; 5,886) confidence interval, provided that the treatment/examination time is approximately 152 minutes, minimum cost and that he is 78 years old at most. The degree of desirability of these optimum values is about 1.00. While the degree of desirability is 0.92 according to the female patient type, the maximum patient satisfaction or health service quality value was calculated as 4.88. This study's results are essential to other dental health centers in clinical management.
