Clients' satisfaction survey in a psychiatric inpatient population attached to a general hospital.
A clients' satisfaction survey was undertaken on the population of a psychiatric inpatient facility in a general hospital setting. The responses were analysed statistically and the results showed that the patients were highly satisfied with the services provided. The results are reviewed within the context of the literature available, and the methodological issues involved are discussed. It is felt that existing questionnaires need to be further refined to make them more sensitive to dissatisfaction felt by patients.
