Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Relevance: Patient satisfaction is a key indicator of healthcare quality, influencing health outcomes and service efficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of medical and demographic factors on patient satisfaction with gynecological care. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in public healthcare facilities in Almaty, Kazakhstan, from January to March 2024. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and hospital records. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was employed to categorize patients based on satisfaction levels and medical indicators, while regression analysis quantified the impact of key factors on patient satisfaction. Results: Staff communication and room quality were the most influential factors affecting patient satisfaction. PCA identified four distinct patient clusters, ranging from lowest to highest satisfaction levels. Regression analysis confirmed that staff communication (0.30) and room quality (0.25) had the most substantial impact, followed by diagnostic quality (0.20) and medical supply (0.15). Conclusion: Improving staff communication and room conditions should be a priority for healthcare facilities, as these factors significantly enhance patient satisfaction.
