Comparison of Visit Length and Waiting Time of Patients in Public and Private Clinics in the North of Iran

Background: The visit length is considered one of the indicators for assessing patients’ satisfaction. Factors such as waiting time for getting a visit affects the desirability of the visit. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the visit length and waiting time of patients in public and private clinics in Tabriz. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytic study conducted in five clinics in 2018. A questionnaire-based survey was used to collect data from 386 participants recruited through simple random sampling. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied to analyze the data using SPSS version 22.0. Results: Overall, the mean visit length was 25.5 and 25.4 min in public and private centers, respectively, while the mean waiting time was 141.2 and 156.4 min in public and private centers, respectively. There was no significant difference between public and private centers regarding the visit length (P > 0.05); however, there was a significant difference between public and private centers in terms of waiting time (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The waiting time was too much, especially in private clinics, which can negatively affect patient satisfaction. Therefore, suggested interventions may consist of using internet and telephone admission, scheduling a waiting list, and requiring physicians to be present on time.

The number of patient revisits in maternity polyclinic of Surabaya Haji Public Hospital decreased within the period of 2015 – 2016 as much as 24%. In addition, there were several indicators complained by patients in the maternity polyclinic of Surabaya Haji Public Hospital. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of service quality to patients’ satisfaction and loyalty in the maternity polyclinic based on Donabedian Theory. It was an observational analytic study, and sampling was taken by simple random sampling technique which in the end obtained a total of 141 respondents. The results of the study indicated that service quality significantly affected patients’ satisfaction. The mean value <3.00 was an issue that should get attention from the polyclinic including structural components (the parking space which is not large and comfortable enough) as well as process components (waiting duration to get services from physicians). Thus, recommendation given to the polyclinic could be to conduct periodic evaluation of the application of service quality as well as patients’ satisfaction and reschedule physicians’ medical practices.

Abstract Introduction Addiction to the Internet and mobile phones in adolescents could be related to loneliness. However, less research has been conducted on this topic in developing countries. This study aimed to examine addiction to the Internet and mobile phones and its relationship with loneliness in adolescents in Iran. Method This was a cross-sectional and analytic study that was conducted between 2015 and 2016 in Rasht, in the north of Iran. Subjects were selected through cluster sampling from female and male teens who were studying in the public and private schools. The Kimberly’s Internet Addiction Test, Cell phone Overuse Scale (COS), and the University of California , Los Angeles (UCLA) Loneliness Scale were used for data collection. Results The mean age of participants was 16.2 ± 1.1 year. The mean of addiction to the Internet was 42.2 ± 18.2. Overall, 46.3% of the subjects reported some degrees of addiction to the Internet. The mean of addiction to mobile phones was 55.10 ± 19.86. The results of this study showed that 77.6% (n = 451) of the subjects were at risk for addiction to mobile phones, and 17.7% (n = 103) of them were addicted to their use. The mean of loneliness was 39.13 ± 11.46 in the adolescents. Overall, 16.9% of the subjects obtained a score higher than mean in loneliness. A statistically significant direct relationship was found between addiction to the Internet and loneliness in the adolescents (r = 0.199, p = 0.0001). The results also showed a statistically significant direct relationship between addiction to mobile phones and loneliness in the adolescents (r = 0.172, p = 0.0001). Conclusion The results of this study revealed that a high percentage of adolescents who have some degrees of addiction to the Internet and mobile phones experience loneliness, and there are relationships between these variables.

Abstract: Blood Pressure (BP) is the pressure of blood that is pumped by the heart against arterial wall. Blood Pressure is the pushing force for the blood which can circulate to the whole body to give fresh blood that contains oxygen and nutrients to body organs. This study aimed to obtain the blood pressure measurements of the North Minahasa Regency civil servants in two body positions, namely sitting position (SeP) and standing position (StP). This study was conducted in the period of June to July 2015 at the complex of the Mayor office of North Minahasa Regency in Airmadidi District. This was an observational analytical study with a cross sectional approach. Samples were determined with simple random sampling and the amount of samples was 42 people. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 20 with the Wilcoxon signed ranks test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between measurements of blood pressure during sitting position (SeP) and standing position (StP). The data showed that Systoloc BP SeP = 117.9841±12.5877 mmHg vs Systolic StP = 124.7302 ±11.9546 mmHg, whereas Diastolic BP SeP = 79.2698±9.0656 mmHg vs Diastolic StP = 87.5238 ±8.6639 mmHg. The Wilcoxon signed ranks test indicated that there was a significant difference between the two groups (p=0.000 < α=0.05). Coclusion: Body positions namely sitting position and standing position affected both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Blood pressure in standing position showed a tendency to be higher than that of sitting position.Keywords: systolic, diastolic, blood pressure, sitting position, standing position, civil servantsAbstrak: Tekanan darah adalah tekanan dari darah yang dipompa oleh jantung terhadap dinding arteri. Tekanan darah merupakan kekuatan pendorong bagi darah agar dapat beredar ke seluruh tubuh untuk memberikan darah segar yang mengandung oksigen dan nutrisi ke organ-organ tubuh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hasil pengukuran tekanan darah antara posisi duduk dan posisi berdiri pada Pegawai Negeri Sipil (PNS) Pemerintah Kabupaten Minahasa Utara. Penelitian dilaksanakan di kompleks Kantor Bupati Minahasa Utara, Airmadidi pada bulan Juni-Juli 2015. Metode penelitian ini yaitu observasional analitik dengan pendekatan potong lintang. Sampel ditentukan secara simple random sampling yang berjumlah 42 orang. Data dianalisis menggunakan SPSS 20 dengan Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan hasil pengukuran tekanan darah antara posisi duduk dan posisi berdiri. Tekanan darah sistolik antara posisi duduk vs posisi berdiri 117,9841±12,5877 mmHg vs 124,7302±11,9546 mmHg dan tekanan darah diastolik antara posisi duduk vs posisi berdiri 79,2698±9,0656 mmHg vs 87,5238±8,6639 mmHg. Hasil Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara posisi duduk dan posisi berdiri dengan nilai p=0,000 <α=0,05. Simpulan: Posisi badan yaitu posisi duduk dan berdiri pada saat dilakukan pengukuran tekanan darah memengaruhi hasil tekanan darah baik sistolik maupun diastolik. Pada posisi berdiri tekanan darah cenderung lebih tinggi dibanding pada posisi duduk.Kata kunci: tekanan darah, posisi duduk, posisi berdiri
