Evaluating the women’s satisfaction of Hajar hospital services after the delivery

مقدمه: رضایت بیمار، ارزیابی او از مراقبت های سلامتی است که دریافت می کند. یافتن جنبه هایی از خدمات که موجب نارضایتی بیماران می شود و سعی در برطرف نمودن آن ها می تواند مؤثرترین و کم هزینه ترین راه افزایش کیفیت ارائه خدمات باشد؛ لذا تین مطالعه با هدف تعیین رضایت مندی زنان پس از زایمان از خدمات و امکانات زایشگاه بیمارستان هاجر شهرکرد انجام شده است. روش بررسی: در این پژوهش توصیفی- مقطعی تعداد 280 نفر از زنانی که در بخش لیبر بیمارستان هاجر شهرکرد زایمان واژینال داشتند و 2 ساعت از زایمان آنها گذشته بود و به بخش زنان منتقل شده بودند به روش نمونه گیری در دسترس وارد مطالعه شدند. جمع آوری اطلاعات از طریق پرسشنامه ی خودساخته پایا و روا شده انجام و رضایت مندی زنان باردار از خدمات مدیریتی، انسانی و امکانات سنجیده شد. یافته ها: میانگین سن مادران 4/48±26/70 سال بود. میانگین نمره رضایتمندی مادران از خدمات مدیریتی 9/55±64/41 از خدمات انسانی 5/68±55/81 و از امکانات و تجهیزات ساختمانی 9/15±56/78 و در حد متوسط به بالا بود. بین متغییر های دموگرافیک و میزان رضایتمندی ارتباط معنی داری یافت نشد (P>0/05). نتیجه گیری: نتایج حاکی از آن بود که رضایتمندی افراد از خدمات انسانی در سطح پایین تری می باشد. شاید حجم کاری زیاد پرسنل بخش، سبب کاهش تمرکز آنها در ارائه بهتر خدمات شده است و لازم است در این زمینه تدابیری اتخاذ شود
