Background and PurposeAccreditation is viewed to enhance the total quality of healthcare. The present study aims at assessing patients' perspectives toward the quality of emergency healthcare services at different hospitals with different characteristics in Jordan. The elements of patients' perception were aligned with the conceptual framework of Patient Centeredness Model.MethodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in four emergency departments from different healthcare sectors and accreditation statuses in Jordan. Less urgent/nonurgent, alert, and cooperative patients were identified directly after the completion of emergency treatment. The perspectives of patients about the quality of emergency services were evaluated by 10 domains articulated in a validated accident and emergency questionnaire.ResultsA total of 276 patients were enrolled in the study. Private sector scored higher in all assessment domains in both accredited and nonaccredited hospitals in comparison with the government sector. Accredited government hospitals scored higher in patients' evaluation for “doctor and nurse,” “investigations,” “pain,” and “overall respect of medical staff” domains than nonaccredited government hospitals. The overall experience was significantly different between accredited and nonaccredited government hospitals.Implications for PracticeQuality of emergency care services should be assessed through various dimensions related to patients' perspectives. Patients' perception toward the quality of emergency health services is evidently enhanced by accreditation especially in the government sector.

Objetivo: Conhecer o comportamento de saúde de mulheres e os motivos para buscar assistência em um pronto atendimento. Método: Estudo descritiva e exploratória, de natureza qualitativa com 18 mulheres atendidas em um pronto atendimento municipal no noroeste do Paraná. Os dados foram coletados em novembro de 2015 por entrevista semiestruturada e submetidos à análise de conteúdo, modalidade temática. Resultados: Foram identificadas duas categorias empíricas: “Comportamentos de mulheres diante de intercorrências na saúde”, mostra que as condutas iniciais das mulheres, em situações de adoecimento, são automedicação e protelamento em procurar serviços de saúde; e “Motivos para procurar o serviço de pronto atendimento”, onde identificou-se que a procura deste nível de atendimento é motivada pela percepção de maior resolutividade, eficácia e agilidade, além de proximidade do lar. Conclusão: É comum às mulheres retardarem a procura por atendimento em virtude das responsabilidades inerentes ao gênero, e quando o fazem, preferem serviços mais resolutivos.Descritores: Serviços de Saúde; Assistência Ambulatorial; Saúde da Mulher.
