Measuring Patient Satisfaction with Incontinence Treatment - Report
As part of the National Continence Management Strategy, Hawthorne (2006c) reviewed patient satisfaction measures and recommended (a) investigation into a single patient satisfaction item for use by clinicians wishing to make an “on-the-spot” assessment, (b) that a short incontinence specific measure be developed based on revisions to the GUTSS instrument, and (c) that a short generic instrument be developed. This study implements these recommendations through the evaluation of various patient satisfaction instruments to determine their suitability for inclusion in the NCMS suite of measures.
