Key result
Overall patient satisfaction score was 86.7%, with the highest satisfaction for staff-patient relationships (90.3%) and greater satisfaction with information regarding regional anesthesia.

What is the level of patient satisfaction with perioperative care among orthopedic surgery patients, and how does the type of anesthesia influence it?
The English version of the LPPSq is a reliable tool for assessing perioperative patient satisfaction, revealing high overall satisfaction but identifying information provision as an area for improvement.
Enhancing regional anesthesia information may improve orthopedic perioperative satisfaction; cross-sectional data leaves causal effects of anesthesia type open.
This survey aimed to validate the English version of the multidimensional Leiden Perioperative Patient Satisfaction questionnaire (LPPSq) and use it to assess patient satisfaction with perioperative care and the influence of type of anesthesia. One hundred patients having orthopedic surgery under regional and general anesthesia verbally consented to participate. Different aspects of satisfaction were assessed (eg, provision of information, and staff-patient relationship). The reliability estimate of the LPPSq (Cronbach's-α) was good (0.94). Overall, patient satisfaction score was 86.7%, lowest was for information (80.8%) and highest for staff-patient relationships (90.3%). Patients were more satisfied with the provision of information regarding regional anesthesia.

H. Jlala (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Orthopedic surgery (n=100). Regional anesthesia vs. General anesthesia was evaluated on Patient satisfaction with perioperative care (LPPSq score). Overall patient satisfaction score was 86.7%, with the highest satisfaction for staff-patient relationships (90.3%) and greater satisfaction with information regarding regional anesthesia.
