Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to test the validity of the Perception of Quality in Anesthesia (PQA) and language compatibility.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Patient Satisfaction	Other: PQA

Detailed Description

The Perception of Quality in Anesthesia (PQA) scale was developed by Hocking et al. in 2013 to measure the quality of anesthesia service received by patients who underwent surgery under anesthesia. The survey consists of 16 questions. Researchers ask patients undergoing surgery to complete the PQA questionnaire 24 hours after surgery. The researcher visits patients in hospital rooms or makes phone calls the day after surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Construct Validity of PQA (Perception of Quality in Anesthesia) [24 hours after the surgery]
PQA is a 16-item questionnaire that measures the satisfaction of the patient with the anesthesia approach applied in the perioperative period. Survey questions assess 5 topics: Factor A: attention/courtesy; Factor B: pain management; Factor C: knowledge/trust; Factor D: POB; and Factor E: concerns addressed. For each question, the patient is asked to answer using a five-point Likert scale. The extremes of the scale are labeled 'very poor' to 'very good' or 'definitely no' to 'definitely yes' depending on the question. Patient responses to each PQA Likert scale and visual analog questions are scored from 1 to 5. 'Absolutely no' or 'very poor' is scored as 1 and 'definitely yes' or 'very good' is scored 5.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Response success rate of the PQA [24 hours after the surgery]
Defined as success if the patient has answered all items
