Abstract:

Satisfaction with health care is a multidimensional concept that considers aspects such as access, organization, professional-user interaction. The aim of this study was to adapt and apply at ESF an instrument for assessing users satisfaction in APS, based on the European Task Force on Patient Evaluation of General Practice Care (EUROPEP), which refers to the users satisfaction of services of general and family medicine. The instrument consists of five dimensions of satisfaction: relationship and communication, medical care, information and support, continuity and cooperation, and organization of services. The study was composed of phases: review and adjustment of the instrument and application to a representative sample of users of the ESF in Rio de Janeiro. To analyze the results it was calculated averages of the proportions of answer for each indicator. Relationship and communication between professionals and users was the most outstanding and Organization Services received the worst evaluation. Regarding the characteristics of users and standards of satisfaction, people with lower education level, good self health perception and more seniors were more satisfied. The instrument proved to be easy to apply, can be routinely used for monitoring of the ESF, and is an important tool for the institutionalization of evaluation.
