Efficient operation of the public transport is a key factor for the improvement of living condition in Dhaka city. Transport service performance should be assessed from the passengers’ perspectives to evaluate these perceptions in transportation planning. The exploration of service quality of bus is essential in order to provide a better service in future. The objective of this research is to access overall customer satisfaction in public bus transport of Dhaka city. A questionnaire survey was conducted in five locations in Dhaka city. Bus users’ satisfaction was analyzed by discrete choice logit model towards quality, reliability, safety and security and service provided by buses functioning in Dhaka city. The result indicated that more than half of the respondents believed that the present condition of bus service is not satisfactory. In case of the quality of buses, people think that the body and sitting arrangement of the buses are uncomfortable. Regarding the safety and security condition, main three reasons of dissatisfaction of passengers’ are unsafe driving practices, poor boarding and alighting facilities and lack of law enforcing agencies surveillance.

The purpose of this paper is to identify and measure Ajman residents’ satisfaction on healthcare service, using data of a sample of 1035 households, randomly selected from a total of 95,531 households, who were permanently residing in the Emirate of Ajman and having prior experience in availing any healthcare service. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 and AMOS version 22. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis showed an acceptable model fit used to measure residents’ satisfaction. Findings showed that in the government sector only reliability and empathy correlated positively with healthcare service quality, which also had a strong, positive correlation with residents’ satisfaction, while tangible, assurance and responsiveness were not sufficiently correlated to healthcare service quality. On the other hand, for private sector, except for responsiveness and tangible dimensions, reliability, assurance, and empathy correlated positively with healthcare service quality, which also had a strong, positive correlation with residents’ satisfaction. This study used healthcare service quality dimensions, namely, tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy, to determine the residents’ satisfaction within the public hospitals and to provide an empirical contribution to understanding the factors associated with public satisfaction and healthcare systems. According to the survey results, Ajman residents were satisfied 82% on Quality Dimension, 77% on Empathy Dimension, 80% on both Assurance and responsiveness Dimensions, 89% on Reliability Dimension and 88% on Tangible Dimension. Moreover, Statistical analysis revealed that, each of Tangible Dimension, Healthcare Service Quality Dimension and Empathy Dimension, is positively correlated with Healthcare Service Quality. Likewise, Healthcare Service Quality, is also positively correlated with residents’ satisfaction. But Reliability, Responsiveness, and Assurance Dimensions, are not positively correlated with Healthcare Service Quality.展开更多

This study aims to assess the level of patient satisfaction with primary healthcare services in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, identify social factors affecting satisfaction, and determine the reasons behind dissatisfaction and how to improve satisfaction. The study employed a cross-sectional observational design and included a random sample of 400 patients from primary healthcare centers in Riyadh. Data were collected using an electronic questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software. The study found that patients were generally satisfied with the primary healthcare services provided in Riyadh, with high levels of satisfaction reported for booking appointments, triage services, and emergency care. However, some aspects of the healthcare experience, such as long waiting times and the physical design of healthcare centers, need improvement. These findings can be used to inform the development of policies and interventions aimed at enhancing healthcare quality in Saudi Arabia.展开更多

文摘Patient satisfaction is a crucial measure of healthcare quality and plays a vital role in ensuring effective healthcare systems. This study aims to assess the level of patient satisfaction with primary healthcare services in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, identify social factors affecting satisfaction, and determine the reasons behind dissatisfaction and how to improve satisfaction. The study employed a cross-sectional observational design and included a random sample of 400 patients from primary healthcare centers in Riyadh. Data were collected using an electronic questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software. The study found that patients were generally satisfied with the primary healthcare services provided in Riyadh, with high levels of satisfaction reported for booking appointments, triage services, and emergency care. However, some aspects of the healthcare experience, such as long waiting times and the physical design of healthcare centers, need improvement. These findings can be used to inform the development of policies and interventions aimed at enhancing healthcare quality in Saudi Arabia.
