Physician’s Satisfaction Regarding Plan
of Care among Physicians in Abha City, Saudi
Arabia, 2018. World Family Medicine. 2020; 18(5):

Abstract
Background:
Physicians’ satisfaction regarding
plan of care can substantially affect
their performance and impact patient care.
Therefore, by knowing the determinants
or factors of satisfaction one can establish
suggestions to enhance this satisfaction
and thereby ensure better patient’
outcomes and high quality care.
Method: The
current study was carried out to assess
the level of satisfaction and its determinants
(associated factors) among Abha city physicians.
A cross-sectional study was conducted
by means of a questionnaire from October
2018 to June 2019 among physicians in
3 governmental hospitals and primary health
care centers in Abha city (n = 385) to
evaluate their satisfaction (according
to scale) and documentation of a treatment
plan, of whom 354 (92%) doctors responded.
Results: The
mean age of participants was 34.2. More
than half of physicians were male (57.3%)
and most of them were Saudi (70.6%). A
significant proportion of participants
have less than 5 years of experience (47.2%).
The majority of participants were found
to be satisfied (79.9%). Several factors
were found to be associated with satisfaction
(p < 0.05) including dealing with opposite
sex patients, ability to apply informed
consent, relationship with colleagues,
availability of supporting staff, supportive
practice for new ideas, restriction on
and availability of facility services,
availability of feedback, health record
system, demanding patients, ability to
self-update during consultation, ability
to do proper consultations, minimal ER
cases interruption, age, nationality,
level of training, years of experience,
duration of consultation, availability
of free time, and level of plan documentation.
Conclusion:
Although this study had several limitations,
the associated factors have helped establish
several recommendations that can potentially
further improve the physician’s satisfaction
with their plan.
Key words:
physicians’ satisfaction, plan of
care, management plan.
