Prevalence of patient satisfaction with preoperative information provision and associated factors among women undergoing elective gynecologic surgery at Hung Vuong Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of patient satisfaction with preoperative information provision and identify independent associated factors among women undergoing elective gynecologic surgery at Hung Vuong Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from April to October 2023 among 394 women aged ≥ 18 years scheduled for elective gynecologic surgery. Data were collected through structured interviews using a modified Ministry of Health patient satisfaction questionnaire and medical records. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and multivariate logistic regression were performed using Stata version 17. Results: Overall, 92.4% of patients reported being satisfied with the preoperative information they received. Independent factors associated with higher satisfaction included having health insurance (aOR = 2.77, 95% CI: 1.17 - 6.59), being examined preoperatively by the primary surgeon (aOR = 3.08, 95% CI: 1.33 - 7.14), satisfaction with healthcare staff attitudes (aOR = 11.4, 95% CI: 2.10 - 66.6), and having a higher education level (OR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.02 - 3.35). Patients diagnosed with non-fibroid gynecologic conditions were less likely to be satisfied. Conclusions: Patient satisfaction with the provision of preoperative information for gynecologic surgery was high. Key contributing factors included professional communication, surgeon involvement, and socioclinical determinants. Enhancing standardization, personalization, and the quality of information delivery can further improve satisfaction and overall quality of care.
