This study surveyed patients and their satisfaction with an integrative anthroposophic hospital. The patients were followed up by questionnaires up to six months after a stay in a Swedish clinic. Satisfaction with the care, life satisfaction, and health-related quality of life were measured for 53 patients, 48 women, 5 men, with cancer, pain diseases, and psychosomatic problems. Sampling was consecutive and due to regional reasons. The evaluation of patients' satisfaction from the anthroposophic clinic (AC) was compared to similar questions of patients using conventional hospital care. The stay lasted 7-21 days and was paid by the patients' county councils. Causes for choosing AC were predominantly a positive attitude towards a holistic health view and expectations on being cared for. Less frequently noted was dissatisfaction with conventional care. Satisfaction with health care given after one month by the AC was sample scored more positively than the highest unit in the conventional clinic. This is important because women in conventional clinic report lower satisfaction. The AC sample consisted of 91% women with an average age of 54 years and a higher level of education compared to the sample from the conventional hospital. Health-related quality of life and life satisfaction was, if not significant, moderately increased during the following six months. The AC initiated a new attitude and change in life habits that stimulated the patients into improving their life style habits and hence their overall health. Still challenging is the gender question. Why do middle-aged, well-educated women experience a need for and a satisfaction in complementary and integrative health care?
本研究调查了患者及其对整体anthroposophic 医院的满意度。通过问卷对在瑞典诊所住院后的患者进行了长达六个月的随访。对 53 名患者（48 名女性，5 名男性）的护理满意度、生活满意度和健康相关生活质量进行了测量，他们患有癌症、疼痛疾病和身心问题。抽样是连续的，由于区域原因。将患者对 anthroposophic 诊所 (AC) 的满意度评估与使用常规医院护理的患者的类似问题进行了比较。住院时间为 7-21 天，由患者所在的县议会支付费用。选择 AC 的原因主要是对整体健康观的积极态度以及对护理的期望。较少注意到的是对常规护理的不满。一个月后，AC 提供的医疗保健的满意度样本评分比常规诊所的最高分还要高。这很重要，因为常规诊所的女性报告满意度较低。AC 样本中 91%为女性，平均年龄为 54 岁，受教育程度高于常规医院的样本。在接下来的六个月中，健康相关生活质量和生活满意度即使没有显著提高，也有所提高。AC 发起了一种新的态度和生活习惯的改变，促使患者改善生活方式习惯，从而改善整体健康。性别问题仍然具有挑战性。为什么中年、受过良好教育的女性会对补充和综合保健有需求和满意度？
