Introduction: Patient satisfaction with health care indicates the organizational performance of a hospital. The level of patient satisfaction depends on factors such as ability of the physician, observance of the patient's rights, and quality of treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the level of patient satisfaction with the provision of inpatient services in selected wards of some hospitals affiliated to Yazd  Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in 2016. Methods: The present study was a descriptive cross-sectional research. Shahid Sadoughi, Shahid Rahnemoun, Afshar, Ziaei Ardakan, and Fatemeh Al-Zahra Mehriz hospitals were selected to conduct the study. Inpatients were included in the statistical population. The total sample size with an error of 5% was estimated at 1056 people. A researcher-made questionnaire was applied to collect the study  data. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 21 and frequency, mean, median, and exponential distribution tables were used to describe the findings. Results: The initial population was estimated at 83531 people. In order to reduce the error, a higher sample size (1527 people) was considered. The highest number of patients was from Afshar Hospital (24.6%). The average level of patient satisfaction with the physician was 4.30, with the nursing services was 4.23, with the nursing assist services was 4.25, with the service staff was 4.45, and with the welfare facilities was 4.33. Patients' satisfaction with the service staff was higher than other dimensions. In total, 95.2% of patients were satisfied with the provided services.

Abstract Background and Aims Quality of life of hemodialysis patients and adequacy of hemodialysis therapy in general, is defined by the number and duration of incidents during hemodialysis procedures. In this study we examined the effect of telemedical system for control and monitoring of hemodialysis procedures on patients’ condition and their quality of life. Method The system described in this work included: doctor/patient video call functionality initiated from both ends; functionality of hemodialysis procedure parameters and patient’s condition parameters monitoring and registration; functionality of alerting medical staff about registered incidents, functionality of visual control of hemodialysis procedure. The effect of control and monitoring system usage was studied on population of 2300 hemodialysis patients (at the start of the study) with median follow-up of 2 years. The primary end-point was doctor’s reaction time on patient’s complaint, medical staff reaction time on intradialysis hypertension incidents. Secondary end-points were: number of patients who left the clinic due to reasons besides lethality, patients’ satisfaction by hemodialysis therapy (according to survey), number of incidents of intradialysis and interdialysis hypertension. Results During the study we observed that as a result of system deployment average doctor’s reaction time on patient’s complaint (defined as the time from emergence of the complaint to start of patient/doctor communication) reduced from 8 to 1.5 minutes, average staff reaction time on intradialysis hypertension incidents (defined as time from registration of hypertension incident to start of blood pressure normalization actions) reduced from 5 to 2 minutes. Number of patients who left the clinic due to reasons besides lethality reduced from 2.5 per 100 patients before system deployment to 1.7 per 100 patients at the end of the study. Average value of patient’s satisfaction by dialysis therapy increased from 7.2 to 9.1 points on 10-point scale (according to survey conducted at the beginning and at the end of the study). By the end of the study, average number (across population) of hypertension incidents per month reduced from 8.3 to 6.2 and from 20.7 to 16.5 episodes for intradialysis and interdialysis hypertension correspondingly. Conclusion The use of telemedical tools of hemodialysis procedures control and monitoring has positive impact on patients’ satisfaction level by the dialysis procedure and on duration/frequency of incidents registered by these tools, which, in return may improve the quality of patient’s life.

To compare the efficacy of epidural butorphanol and tramadol for post operative analgesia in lower limb surgeries. Randomized, controlled, double blind, prospective study conducted at Department of Anaesthesia and Critical Care, Chitwan Medical College from September 1st 2015 to August 31st 2016. 60 patients of ASA Grade I and II of either sex, aged between 18-65 years willing for epidural analgesia for post operative analgesia were included in the study. They were divided into two groups: Group B- Butorphanol group and Group T- Tramadol group. Subjects of Group B received 2mg of Butorphanol and 0.25% Bupivacaine making a total volume of 10 ml and that of Group T received 100mg of Tramadol and 0.25% Bupivacaine also making a total volume of 10 ml. Analgesic efficacy was assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The onset and duration of analgesia along with side effects were also assessed. The quality of analgesia was studied using time to independent mobilization and overall patient satisfaction. Total number of patients was 60, of ASA Grade I and II, aged between 18-65 years. The mean age of patients in Group B was 42.6±11.7 years and 46.1±11.2 years in Group T. Time of onset of analgesia after epidural injection was 7.4±0.9 minutes in Group B and 12.7±1.5 minutes in Group T and the difference was found to be statistically significant. Duration of analgesia was 317.1±99.1 minutes and 438.8±136.6 minutes in Butorphanol and Tramadol groups respectively which was also statistically significant. Sedation was significantly higher in butorphanol group whereas nausea and vomiting was higher in tramadol group. Quality of analgesia in terms of patient satisfaction was better with epidural butorphanol. Both epidural tramadol and butorphanol were effective in relieving post operative pain however butorphanol had lesser side effects and greater patient satisfaction compared to tramadol but the duration of action was relatively short.

There was a significant positive correlation between quality of work life and mental health (p<0.001, r=0.305). Of the dimensions of quality of working life, fair and adequate remunerations and safe and sanitary working environments had the most effects or could predict mental health to the greatest degrees, respectively.
