The quality of medical services provided by public hospitals has become a crucial principle in health. Awareness and satisfaction of patients are increasing in pace with technological processes and therapeutic procedures. Therefore, Romania's public hospitals must provide quality to patients and assure medical staff's efficiency and professionalism, a high level of satisfaction, and patient safety. This paper aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction measures used in Romania's Healthcare System. Between January and February 2019, an exploratory study was conducted. Data were collected through face-toface interviews based on a questionnaire only with patients who used the health system last year. The results showed that only 39.71% of Romanians are satisfied with the quality of medical services, which means that 61.29% of respondents are disappointed by the health system. Because it is free of charge, the public sector is the only option available for a wide range of patients. The study's results may be an essential basis in developing and successfully improving marketing research on the quality of medical services provided through public hospitals especially considering that Romania must improve the health care system perception. Findings suggest that traditional patient satisfaction measures fail, and new ways must be taken into consideration.

Acceptance, Hesitancy, and Refusal in Anti-COVID-19 Vaccination: A Cluster Analysis Aiming at the Typology behind These Three Concepts

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper presents the findings of a study aiming at an innovative typology of attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination. The proposed typology tries to go beyond the common sociological studies who divide the public into three categories: pro-vaxxers, anti-vaxxers, and hesitants. Our purpose is obtaining a more complex typology using cluster analysis. The article is based on a nation-wide survey conducted in Romania. The sample of the survey was statistically representative to the population of Romania and was composed of 1002 participants. A k-means algorithm for classifying cases was used to identify how the studied population structures itself when it comes to attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination. We see hesitancy as an expression of concern or doubt about the value or safety of the vaccination, but also as fear or dis(trust) in the authorities, or as disinterest. We found out that the Romanian public falls into three categories regarding the attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination: the “non-fanatical” pro-vaxxers, the anti-vaxxers, and those without a clear opinion (uninterested and/or undecided). What we usually call “vaccine hesitancy” can be found, depending on motivation or type of hesitancy, in both of the last two clusters.
