Patient satisfaction with healthcare was recognized as an indispensable component of healthcare quality assurance programs for decades. Limited research has explored psychosocial variables impacting patient satisfaction with cancer care. The objective of our study was to identify the level of patient satisfaction with cancer care in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and determine the psychosocial and clinical predictors of patient satisfaction.
A cross-sectional observational study was carried out in 2018-2019 with patients with cancer at the Outpatient Oncology Clinic at King Saud University Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire contained a visual analog scale (VAS) of satisfaction with cancer care, a VAS of satisfaction with social support, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Depression scale, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale.
Out of the 400 patients approached, 280 agreed to participate in the study. Of the 280 patients participating in the study, 65% were satisfied with cancer care. Higher satisfaction was associated with being non-Saudi, being employed, having fewer household residents (≤4), being satisfied with social support, not receiving radiotherapy, and receiving hormonal or biological therapy. Having anxiety or depression was also associated with lower satisfaction. After adjustment for sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, being satisfied with social support, having ≤ 4 household residents, receiving hormonal therapy, and receiving biological therapy rather than radiotherapy were all independent predictors of higher satisfaction with cancer care.
This study found an inadequate level of patient satisfaction with cancer care. Higher levels of satisfaction were associated with being satisfied with social support, using biological and hormonal therapy, while lower satisfaction was associated with a larger number of household residents (>4), depression, anxiety and using radiotherapy.
