To examine whether patients' trust in the health care professional is associated with health outcomes.
We searched 4 major electronic databases for studies that reported quantitative data on the ...association between trust in the health care professional and health outcome. We screened the full-texts of 400 publications and included 47 studies in our meta-analysis.
We conducted random effects meta-analyses and meta-regressions and calculated correlation coefficients with corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Two interdependent researchers assessed the quality of the included studies using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines.
Overall, we found a small to moderate correlation between trust and health outcomes (r = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.19-0.29). Subgroup analyses revealed a moderate correlation between trust and self-rated subjective health outcomes (r = 0.30, 0.24-0.35). Correlations between trust and objective (r = -0.02, -0.08-0.03) as well as observer-rated outcomes (r = 0.10, -0.16-0.36) were non-significant. Exploratory analyses showed a large correlation between trust and patient satisfaction and somewhat smaller correlations with health behaviours, quality of life and symptom severity. Heterogeneity was small to moderate across the analyses.
From a clinical perspective, patients reported more beneficial health behaviours, less symptoms and higher quality of life and to be more satisfied with treatment when they had higher trust in their health care professional. There was evidence for upward bias in the summarized results. Prospective studies are required to deepen our understanding of the complex interplay between trust and health outcomes.

Background: The nursing profession's caring service is one of the indicators of success in determining patient satisfaction which will have an impact on the quality of customer satisfaction in the ...health facility.Objective: The purpose of the study is to determine the relationship between caring nurse services and patient satisfactionMethods: Correlational descriptive with a cross sectional approach. Results: The results of the univariate analysis showed that caring nurse services were sufficient (53.3%) in the Catheterization Room of EMC Alam Sutera Hospital, South Tangerang City and most patients said they were satisfied (56.7%) with caring care services. The results of the bivariate analysis show that there is a strong relationship between caring nurse services and patient satisfaction in the Catheterization Room of EMC Alam Sutera Hospital, South Tangerang City in 2022 (p value: 0.001, correlation 0.579).Conclusion: There is a strong relationship between caring nurse services and patient satisfaction in the Catheterization Room of EMC Alam Sutera Hospital, South Tangerang City
BACKGROUND: All patients with T1DM are on life-long insulin injection . However, since last decades with evolving diabetes technology ,there is a paucity of research on glycemic and self satisfaction ...effectiveness of new insulin pump and CGM devices in Saudi Arabia population whom they have different lifestyle and race. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted at King Abdulaziz Medical City Endocrine Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study focused on a sample of patients with type 1 diabetes aged 14 years and above using either a sensor-augmented insulin pump (Medtronic MiniMed 640G, 740G), insulin pump without a sensor (Medtronic Paradigm VEO 754), or multiple daily insulin injections for at least 6 months. RESULTS: 196 patients with type 1 diabetes were included, with the majority (76.5%) being females. Their age ranged between 14 and 55 years. More than half of the patients (52.5%) were treated with multiple daily insulin injections. In comparison, 25% and 8.2% were treated with insulin pumps with sensor G640/ newer and insulin pumps without sensors, respectively. Multiple linear regression indicated that patients treated with insulin pumps with sensors had lower HbA1c levels than those who received multiple daily insulin injections. Additionally, patients treated with insulin pumps with sensors had significantly higher patient satisfaction scores than those treated with multiple daily insulin injections, indicating that the frequency of educator visits was responsible for approximately 20% variability of the patient's satisfaction score (r-square = 0.202). CONCLUSIONS: Using insulin pumps with sensors to treat patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus is superior to using multiple daily insulin injections in glycemic control, frequency of hyperglycemia,and patient satisfaction.
Background: During the recent pandemic, the number of patients with influenza-like symptoms had considerably increased in fever clinics of hospitals leading to queuing and increased patient ...dissatisfaction.
Aims and Objectives: A time-motion study was therefore designed to evaluate the time taken at different service delivery points in the fever clinic and patient satisfaction regarding service delivery time.
Materials and Methods: An institutional cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the fever clinic of Midnapore Medical College and Hospital for 1 month. A total of 200 patients were selected by systematic random sampling from the fever clinic outdoors and their movement was recorded and satisfaction assessed.
Results: Most patients visited the clinic during the start of the week and in the first half of the day. The total mean time required from entry to exit was 9089 s±143.0. The maximum time was spent waiting time in the fever clinic entry queue followed by that at the pharmacy. The minimum time required was at the nursing table followed by a doctor’s consultation. The maximum meantime for movement between two stations was between station 5 (laboratory investigation station) and station 6 (pharmacy), that is, 1144 s±183.6. The majority of the study population was not satisfied with the time management in the fever clinic whereas only 18.0% of the participants were fully satisfied.
Conclusion: Identifying the loopholes and formulating an effective time management strategy can help deliver better patient care as well as boost patient satisfaction.
