Abstract

Objective: to analyse patient satisfaction regarding care received from the Nursing staff during their admission at a hospitalization unit for acute mental health patients.
Methods: an analytical cross-sectional study conducted in 2021 at the hospitalization unit for acute Psychiatry patients at a Vallés Occidental hospital in Catalonia (Spain). The study population were those persons hospitalized for over a week who completed the Caring Assessment Tool CAT-V (range 27-135), in its version translated into Spanish. Besides, the clinical variables of participants were collected: a) type of admission: voluntary / involuntary, b) diagnosis at admission, c) use of mechanical restraint, d) use of toxic substances. There was univariate and comparative analysis of the variables collected.
Results: the study included 100 patients, with 42.5 years as mean age (19-72); of these, 55% (p= 55) was female. Satisfaction obtained a median score (P25-P75) of 114 (103-125), and was placed in the fourth quartile. Satisfaction values stayed in the fourth quartile, without showing any statistically significant differences in any of the factors considered, except for those values associated with the use of mechanical restraint, which showed statistical differences (p= 0,023), with a worse perception of satisfaction with care in those for whom it was used, median (P25-P75) 96.5 (87-114), vs. those for whom it was not, 116 (108-125). Even though no significant differences were observed for the rest of variables studied, an increase in satisfaction stood out among voluntary admissions and older persons.
Conclusions: patients presented high satisfaction with care received from Nursing staff during their admission at a hospitalization unit for acute mental health patients. The prevalence of the use of mechanical restraints had a negative impact on satisfaction with care received.
