| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this research was to identify whether a certain set of drivers of satisfaction/perceived quality of healthcare (PQHC) could indirectly affect patients' confidence/trust in the emergency department (ED).Patients were seen at an ED in the public hospital in Lisbon, Portugal between January and December 2016. Data were collected between May and November 2017, using a questionnaire, by mail or e-mail. The total sample size comprised 382 patients. The data analysis included structural equation modeling to test the conceptual model with specific drivers of satisfaction/PQHC (privacy; accessibility and availability; doctors; meeting expectations; waiting time for triage [perception]; waiting time to be called back by the doctor following examinations and/or tests [perception]; information about possible delays in receiving treatment/waiting times) and with the main outcome (confidence/trust in the ED) using path analysis.The analysis of the coefficients revealed that all the mediated paths are statistically significant (P ≤ .05). Although, altogether, the direct paths did not prove statistically significant (P > .05), the overall satisfaction with doctors (P ≤ .01) and meeting expectations (P = .01) can still directly explain the confidence/trust in the ED without the mediating role of satisfaction and PQHC. Hence, overall satisfaction with doctors and meeting expectations can influence, both directly and indirectly, confidence/trust in the ED. All other variables can only indirectly affect confidence/trust in the ED, either through PQHC or through satisfaction.Even though there are more variables that influence confidence/trust in the ED through PQHC (1)waiting time to be called back by the doctor following examinations and/or tests [perception]; 2) privacy; 3) accessibility and availability; 4) doctors; 5) meeting expectations than through satisfaction (1)waiting time for triage [perception]; 2) information about possible delays in receiving treatment/waiting times; 3) doctors; 4) meeting expectations), we observe the strongest contribution in the mediation model through satisfaction, which reveals its dominant role over PQHC. | pt_PT |
