Satisfaction of patients with cataract

Improvement of quality of services is a strategic issue for today service organizations. Organizations that achieve a higher level of quality of services enjoy a higher level of satisfaction in their customers. Hospitals provide a variety of services to their patients and quality of services is a critical factor in the health sector. The main mission of hospitals is to supply quality services for patients and meet their needs and expectations. Accomplishing this mission needs institutionalizing quality in hospitals [1]. Therefore, expectations are of the main determinants in the patients’ assessment of quality of services. Having a clear understanding of the patients’ expectations is the most important step in defining and providing quality services [2]. Cataract is a prevalent and treatable disease in the developed and developing countries. The patients in the latter group of countries are at the risk of losing their eyesight due to lack of adequate health services, economic problems, and lack of awareness; so that, cataract is the first cause of losing eyesight in these countries [3]. According to the latest statistics by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2011, 48% (n = 18 million) of visual impairments (partial or complete loss of sight) in the world and 60% of the cases of loss of sight in the east Mediterranean regions is caused by cataract. Twenty point five million (17.2%) of the US population older than 40 years suffer cataract. Prevalence of the disease in women is 40% higher comparing with men [4]. A cross sectional study in the 22 urban districts of Tehran city reported that cataract was the most prevalent sight disorder (about 36%). Another study on individuals above 40 years old living in Tehran city reported that one-fifth of the population suffered from cataract. Prevalence of the disease in women and men was 24.5% and 22.1% respectively. With aging, an increase in prevalence rate was observed in the both genders and 5.3% of the patient in general suffered partial or complete loss of sight due to the disease. Congenital cataract is the most common cause of loss of sight in small children so that the disease is the reason of 10-38.8% of loss of sight in children. In addition, different studies have reported the prevalence of congenital cataract about 10-15 in every 1000 live births [3].
