Objectives: Client satisfaction is essential for further improvement of the quality of health care. This study aimed to assess the satisfaction with focused and risk approach antenatal care services among pregnant women in Erbil city of Iraq. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at two primary health care centers in Erbil city, one provides focused antenatal care services and the other provides risk approach antenatal care services. A convenience sample of 300 pregnant women (150 pregnant women from each center) participated in the study. An especially designed questionnaire was used for data collection. Results: Around 61% of women attending focused antenatal care were very satisfied with care while only 12 % of women attending risk approach standard antenatal care were very satisfied with antenatal care (P <0.001). The perceived causes of dissatisfaction included crowding in the clinic in the morning, unfavorable waiting area and unavailability of daily sonar exam. A significantly higher proportion (P<0.001) of the high level of satisfaction (78%) was reported among women attending focused antenatal care than risk approach standard antenatal care (38%). Conclusion: Women attending focused antenatal care were highly satisfied with services provided to them while those attending risk approach standard antenatal care were less satisfied with services. Further improvement of focused antenatal care services in Erbil is required.

Objective: To assess the quality of diabetes care provided to patients attending primary care settings and hospitals in the State of Qatar. Design: Observational cohort study. Setting: The survey was carried out in primary health care centers and hospitals. Subjects and Methods: The study was conducted from January 2010 to August 2010 among diabetic patients attending primary health care centers and hospitals. Among the patients participating, 575 were from hospitals and 1103 from primary health care centers. Face-to-face interviews were conducted using a structured questionnaire including sociodemographic, clinical, and satisfaction score of the patients. Results: The mean age of the primary care diabetic patients was 46.1 ± 15.1 years and 44.5 ± 14.8 years for hospital patients ( P = .03). There was a significant difference observed in terms of age group, gender, marital status, occupation, and consanguinity of the diabetic patients in both medical settings ( P < .001). Overweight was less prevalent in primary care patients than in hospital diabetes mellitus patients (40.4% vs 46.4%). A significant variation was observed in the mean values of blood glucose (−0.76), HbA1C (−0.78), LDL (−0.01), albumin (−0.37), bilirubin (−0.76), and triglyceride (−0.01) in primary care patients compared to the mean values of the preceding year. Overall, complications were lower in primary care diabetic patients, and patients attending primary care were more satisfied with the diabetes care. Conclusion: The present study revealed that in general, primary health care provided a better quality of care to diabetic patients compared to that of hospitals. Also, primary care patients had a better satisfaction score towards diabetes care.
