Description
Despite patient input being crucial in ensuring healthcare quality, given the limited liberty and compromised health status of many mental behavioral health (MBH) patients, it becomes both important and challenging to explore psychiatric patients’ views on their clinical environment. By adopting a developed survey tool including more than 12 in-depth criteria, this study intends to explore MBH inpatient assessment of the importance and effectiveness of their environmental attributes. Feedback collected from patients residing in two different MBH inpatient centers shows some significant perceived differences between the importance and effectiveness ratings of specific categories.
