The present study set out to determine general levels of distress, anxiety and depression in an obstetric-gynaecology inpatient population and to ascertain levels of patient satisfaction with services.
200 English-speaking consecutive admissions to the hospital filled out a package of questionnaires consisting of a demographic data form, the 30-item General Health Questionnaire, the Speilberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Inventory to Diagnose Depression and a Patient Satisfaction with Services Questionnaire. 134 packages were fully completed.
The most significant findings were: first, that high levels of anxiety prevailed, with approximately 1/3 of patients at or above the 75th percentile for anxiety levels; and second, that those patients born in non-English speaking countries were significantly more dissatisfied with their care.
The results of this study suggest that there is a need for increased awareness of and further research into the psychological needs of obstetric-gynaecology patients.
本研究旨在确定妇产科住院患者的痛苦、焦虑和抑郁的总体水平，并确定患者对服务的满意度。
连续200名入住该医院且说英语的患者填写了一套问卷，包括人口统计学数据表、30项一般健康问卷、斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表、抑郁诊断量表以及患者服务满意度问卷。134份问卷全部填写完整。
最显著的发现是：第一，普遍存在高水平的焦虑，约1/3的患者焦虑水平处于或高于第75百分位数；第二，那些在非英语国家出生的患者对其护理明显更不满意。
本研究结果表明，需要提高对妇产科患者心理需求的认识并进一步开展相关研究。
