Abstract


This research work is concerned with the identification of the patient satisfaction predictors with the primary health care services by conducting a systematic review in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The three databases in the form of Google scholar, Pubmed, and Medline have been used for the article extraction. Keywords have been used to search the articles related to this work, such as the predictors of patient satisfaction. The different Journals selected were associated with the selected data basis. The research studies selected for the systematic review were evaluated with the help of PRISMA and JBI assessments. The cross-sectional studies have been included in this systematic review. The 3125 articles identified were from the three databases Pubmed (1352), Medline (1103), and Google Scholar (670). All the selected studies were evaluated and screened with the help of PRISMA, and after the extraction of the 25 articles for the systematic review, the JBI assessment was applied to the methodologies. The overall quality satisfaction indicated that all the selected studies were suitable for the systematic review. Most studies have found the five major predictors of patient satisfaction in primary health care, which include availability and accessibility, communication-related attributes, rational conduct, and technical skills, along with personal qualities.

Keywords: Saudi Arabia; Primary care; patients’ satisfaction; systematic review
