Patients Satisfaction With Hospital Nutrition Service in KSA Presented To APCCN 2013 Tokyo Japan June 9-12 By Eisa Ali Johali PhD Health Sciences www.HillUniversity.com www.HillUniversity.com Patients Satisfaction With Hospital Nutrition Service in KSA Presented To APCCN 2013 Tokyo Japan June 9-12 By Eisa Ali Johali PhD Health Sciences www.HillUniversity.com www.HillUniversity.com In the Name of God the Most Graceful the Most Merciful BACKGROUND RESULTS As a prime study came with immense attractive results for further qualitative patients education, counseling and surveys. Despite that it come out with un expected reflects high satisfaction (66%) compare to the Bermuda Hospitals Board survey ( 72.9%) 2012, the study call the national and the international researchers to conduct wide and large surveys to explore in depth and worldwide the patients satisfaction and assure quality improvement of hospital catering and clinical dietitians meals. Finally; it is worthy to end this prime Saudi study with Paul's' promoting saying: " Hospitals will get paid more if they make their patients happy“ Founder and CEO of BerylHealth,BerylHealth, http://www.inc.com/paul-spiegelman/business-opportunity-health-care-satisfied-patients.html Well done Paul; it is my final call to our hospitals to follow 'Noble Hospital' which achieves Zero Defect : 98% of in-patients are satisfied with the level of care provided to them at Noble’s Hospital; that’s the result of a recent survey carried out by the hospital’s Patient Safety and Quality Forum.

It used a self modified smart scaled questionnaire in three 'satisfaction' scales. After a simple pilot study of Likert 5 Scales (http://www.gifted.uconn.edu/siegle/research/Instrument%20Reliability%20and%20Validity/Likert.html ) the study re-scalled in three simple scales "satisfy, unsatisfied, don't know & agree, disagree, don't know". Additionally, the survey attempts to get patients perceptions regarding the most common related assumptions for future projected studies. With help of my students, 200 questionnaires were prepared and distributed by 10 students, 187 (93.5%) are returned and 22 are neglected as they are not well completed. (http://www.gifted.uconn.edu/siegle/research/Instrument%20Reliability%20and%20Validity/Likert.html METHODOLGY MOH Hospitals N65 Although it is widely spread that hospital foods are not welcome to patients, there are a few semi related articles of surveying wither patients are satisfy or dissatisfy with hospitals nutritional services. After extensive literature review using (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/guide/literature ) and general internet searching sites, I found few semi close to our topics including ( Lessen, K. O et al 2006) and the closed is the Bermuda Hospitals Boards' monthly patient satisfaction survey (http://bernews.com/2012/02/72-9-satisfied-with- hospital-food/ )http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/guide/literaturehttp://bernews.com/2012/02/72-9-satisfied-with- hospital-food/ In their conclusion, Lessen et al (ibid) support the reason of this study by concluding that: Every hospital and every bed ward has its strengths and weaknesses, but none of the participating bed wards fully satisfy nutritional care success criteria. At national level even the term 'satisfy' is not well welcome, traditional it says 'People satisfaction is not attainable aim" (Johali 2013). Therefore it is not surprise that there is few literature regarding 'patients satisfaction'. The researcher used many electronic approaches to review "Patients Satisfaction with Hospital food, meals, catering,.." the most close site found is "pubmed - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth :: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth Results: 1 to 20 of 685 Refine your search: All (685) For Consumers (132) Clinical Guides (131) DARE Reviews (227) Executive Summaries (32) Full Text Reviews (163)For Consumers (132)Clinical Guides (131)DARE Reviews (227)Executive Summaries (32)Full Text Reviews (163) In Saudi Arabia: Results: 0 No Items found All (0) For Consumers (0)… With other modifying titles "Patient Satisfaction Survey in Saudi Arabia" the study founded about 14 – 72 articles including 5 from Japan but none of those articles have same title, mission and aims, the most closed are chosen as main references. This prime paper, therefore aims to promote patients satisfaction with hospital nutrition services and to open a scientific gate towards optimum total quality health care services and healthful life.
