Abstract Background: As assessing client’s experience are important guide towards services improvement, providers will need to fully understand patient satisfaction level and their determinants. This study was aimed to assess the level of satisfaction towards the emergency medical care and associated factors at emergency department of Ayder specialized comprehensive hospital, Mekelle, Ethiopia.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 1–30, 2019. Systematic random sampling method was used to enroll study participants. Data was collected using a standard Brief Emergency Department Patient Satisfaction Scale questionnaire by trained data collectors. Data was entered into EpiData 3.1 then exported and analyzed by SPSS version 22. Binary and multiple logistic regression was used to assess the predictor’s patient satisfaction.Results: A total of 299 participants were enrolled in the study with a response rate of 99.3%. The overall client’s satisfaction was 81.9%. The lowest satisfaction rate was reported towards emergency room environment, and patient family satisfaction 37.5%, and 49.8% respectively. Educational status those who were able to read and write (AOR = 3.9, 95% CI: 1.4, 10, P = 0.008), those who arrived during the morning shift of the day (AOR = 3.6, 95% CI: 1.6, 8.7, p = 0.002), those who waited < 15 minutes to be seen by a doctor (AOR = 1.3, 95% CI: 1.003, 1.4), having felt discriminated (AOR = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.003, 1.4) were significantly associated determinants of client satisfaction.Conclusions: The overall client’s satisfaction in this study was found to be good. There is a low satisfaction towards emergency room environment and patient’s family courtesy. It is important to readjust emergency room services to improve client’s courtesy, avoid feeling of discrimination by clients and overall to improve the quality of care in the emergency department.

Introduction: The quality of nursing services in the Emergency Department was greatly affected by the high number of stagnant patients resulting in their satisfaction. However, limited evidence was shown about the satisfaction level of stagnant patients in the Emergency Department in Indonesia. This study aims to know the satisfaction level of stagnant patients on the services in an Kupang Emergency Department. Methods: The total sample in this study was 109 respondents recruited by an accidental sampling method. Data were taken using a questionnaire of Brief Emergency Department Patient Satisfaction Scale (BEPSS); and analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage). Results: The results of this study showed that as many as 89% of stagnant patients were satisfied with Emergency Department's  services. The responsiveness dimension had the highest level of stagnant patient satisfaction (99.1%) compared to the tangible dimension (78.9%). The quality of service provided to stagnant patients in the emergency department should be improved especially on the tangible dimension though the majority of patients were happy with the service. Suggestion: This study suggests to the hospital to manage a comfortable ED surrounding to the patients.

Patient satisfaction (PS) is an important factor for both patients and healthcare professionals. Psychometrically sound assessment of PS is of absolute importance for quality improvement purposes particularly in private hospitals. One of the PS instruments with high reliability and validity is the Brief Emergency Department Patient Satisfaction Scale (BEPSS). This study aimed to investigate the factor structure of BEPSS in a private hospital. A total of 270 emergency patients from a private hospital filled the questionnaires. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to investigate the factor structure of BEPSS. General-factor and five-factor models of the instrument were compared. Internal consistency of the scale was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. The five-factor solution of the BEPSS had higher indices of fit and was psychometrically more appropriate. The factor structure was consistent with the original solution. All subscales were internally consistent. Cronbach’s alphas ranged between 0.59 and 0.88 for the five subscales. As a result, BEPSS is a valid and reliable instrument in order to be used in private hospitals and clinics. It may serve as a regular PS evaluation tool, which assesses five domains of PS in emergency rooms or for research purposes.
