      program].
PG  - 116-28
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to know rate of general and specific satisfaction of 
      patients going through major out-patient surgery (MOPS), to determine the 
      relationship between satisfaction and sociodemographic variables, and to 
      ascertain the influence that MOPS can exert on certain facets of the care 
      relationship, user valoration of health services, and out-patient method 
      characteristics. SITE: Primary-care polyclinic and secondary-care municipal 
      hospital. DESIGN: We conducted a descriptive, qualitative transversal study by 
      means of anonymous questionnaires answered by out-patients at home. RESULTS: The 
      questionnaires, considered due to its credible and valid characteristics, was 
      applied by drained personnel to 83 persons by simple random sanepling to the 
      forget population. The majority of out-patients stated that they were very 
      (51.81%) or quite (31.12%) satisfied with the method, independently of age, sex, 
      place of origin, educational lave, and occupation. A statistical relationship was 
      found between general satisfaction and the occurrence of postoperative 
      complications, the possibility given to the patient of choosing between in- and 
      out-patient surgery, and specific satisfaction with medical care received at he 
      hospital and at home. These and then results are discussed and compared whit 
      experiences in other fields. In conclusion, patients expressed satisfaction with 
      the MOPS program linked with primary health care (PHC), although they stated that 
      some aspects of MOPS should be improved.
