Abstract

It is recognized that patient satisfaction is an indicator of the quality of care. The objective of this work was to assess the satisfaction of hospitalized patients and those who recovered from COVID-19 in epidemiological treatment centers. A descriptive study for evaluation was carried out between December 03 and 18, 2020 in the health districts of Kaloum, Dixinn, Ratoma, Matam, Matoto, Coyah, Boké, and Kindia. Data collection was done by investigators through structured interviews using a validated questionnaire. A total of 472 people participated in the survey, including 118 in hospital and 354 cured; the sex ratio is 2.18. More than 50% of participants are satisfied with the hospitalization sites; cured people are more satisfied than hospitalized people 22% vs. 18%. Almost a quarter of the participants, 22% were frustrated at the level of sampling sites and the rendering of results. The delay in the sampling sites and the pain felt during the test are the main causes of the frustrations. The evaluation of the satisfaction of hospitalized and recovered patients helped to know the causes of the frustrations in a health emergency context during which there was a large influx of patients both in epidemiological treatment centers. However, further studies are required to complete this one to explore other areas of patient satisfaction better.
