Abstract:

Aim: To identify user satisfaction in relation to wheelchairs and the provision of public and private health services in the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Region. Methods: Cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Brazilian version of the Quebec Assistive Technology User Satisfaction Assessment. Data were analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistics using Student\'s t test. Cohen\'s d effect sizes were calculated. Results: Participants (n=42) were \"more or less satisfied\" with the wheelchairs and \"somewhat satisfied\" with the services provided. Rigid frame wheelchair users were significantly more satisfied with their wheelchairs compared to Above 198 lbs. wheelchair users (p=0.010, d=1.04). Private services users showed significantly higher satisfaction with the provision of the service compared to public services users (p=0.021, d=0.75). Conclusions: Wheelchair users in the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Region are more satisfied with the rigid frame wheelchair and less satisfied with public services.
