“…Knowledge of information about the possibilities of increasing patient satisfaction and, thus, increasing the healthcare quality enables the creation of a competitive advantage for the healthcare facilities [ 11 ]. As patient satisfaction increases, trust is also built between the patient and the medical staff that helps to build loyalty bonds gradually and to increase the satisfaction of medical staff with their work [ 12 , 13 ]. Patient satisfaction thus becomes an essential part of a complex healthcare quality system.…”

The aim of the study was to analyse and evaluate the determinants influencing the overall satisfaction of patients with inpatient healthcare in the conditions of the Czech Republic. A total of the 1425 patients, who experienced hospitalisation and agreed to participate, were questioned in the study. A research questionnaire was used to obtain data on satisfaction with hospitalisation. The subject of the research consisted of the indicators related to the following factors: (i) satisfaction with the hospital, clinic, room and meals; (ii) satisfaction with medical staff—nurses, physician expertise and other staff; (iii) the quality of the treatment provided; (iv) satisfaction with leaving the hospital. The formulated statistical hypotheses were evaluated through structural equation modelling. The results of the analyses brought interesting findings. Satisfaction with medical staff is the most significant factor which has a positive effect on satisfaction with hospitalisation. Physician expertise (with trust and good communication skills) is more important for patients than satisfaction with nurses or other staff. The results obtained from the study represent valuable information for policymakers, regional healthcare plans, as well as for managers of hospitals.

“…In terms of non-objective criteria, patients usually assess the quality of nursing care based on how their needs are met throughout their illness, the level of nurses' professional sensitivity and attentiveness to their needs, nurses' behavior and activity, their neat physical appearance and polite speech. Patients in the hospital are very sensitive to the environment, nurses' behavior, the way they are provided with therapeutic and nursing interventions as well as with continuous information, their involvement in care, cooperation with both patients and their next of kin [21,22].…”

Background: In the assessment of healthcare processes focusing on the quality of care provided, patient satisfaction is an important indicator that healthcare providers may use for future setting of healthcare and preventing adverse events. The study aimed to determine satisfaction with nursing care among hospital inpatients. Material and Methods: The sample comprised 14 023 patients staying in medical and surgical wards of 14 acute care hospitals in the Czech Republic in 2019-2020. Data were collected using the Patient Satisfaction Scale, a standardized tool containing 11 items in 3 subscales. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and correlation analysis (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient). Results: Overall, patients reported high satisfaction with nursing care (M = 3.57). Patients were most satisfied with how their technical/rational needs were met (M = 3.57); the least satisfaction was identified in the domain of information needs (M = 3.53). Patients who perceived their health as good (47%) or very good (18%) showed high satisfaction scores (M = 3.77 and M = 3.73, respectively). High scores were also achieved for patients with secondary (M = 3.58) and tertiary (M = 3.59) education, those whose admission was planned (M = 3.59) and those staying in large hospitals (M = 3.60). There were no differences in satisfaction with regard to gender (p = 0.755) and the COVID-19 pandemic (p = 0.190). Conclusions: Patients' satisfaction with care provided is a highly significant parameter of healthcare quality. It is influenced by a number of aspects which, if adequately defined, may aid in improving the quality of care.

“…These diseases are characterized by both high mortality and a signifi cant degree of disability, limiting the possibilities of eff ective life and work of people of working age [18][19][20][21]. Poor health is currently indicated as one of the main causes of occupational deactivation of labor resources [22][23][24][25], and the relationship between the state of health of the society and its productivity is becoming the subject of an increasing number of studies [26][27][28][29]. The growing problem of employees' absence for health reasons (absenteeism) or their reduced productivity due to ill health (presenteeism) forces employers to use mechanisms to ensure the continuity of production processes [30][31][32][33].…”

The aim of the presented research is to assess the degree of burdening the EU economies with the effects of cancer in the context of the limitations diagnosed of the labor market potential in the Member States. Particular attention was paid to the problem of existing inequalities in the level of burdening national economies with the effects of premature mortality due to cancer observed in the relationship between the "old" and the "new" EU. The extent to which EU economies were burdened by the long-term effects of cancer was measured by the number of prematurely lost years of healthy life for people of working age. The hypothesis of a persistently high level of inequality was verified on the basis of an analysis of the convergence process in the group of EU-27 countries in the years 1990-2019. The results obtained indicate that the level of health limitations caused by cancer is strongly differentiated in the EU-27 group. The inequalities observed concern, in particular, the relationship between the "old" and "new" Europe and indicate a high burden of health consequences for the inhabitants of Central and Eastern Europe. The analysis of catching up process by the countries with the least favorable situation (the highest level of cancer burden), carried out in the EU-27 group, did not show a real effect of reducing disproportions in the level of the parameters analyzed.
