Medical consultation is at the centre of clinical practice.
Satisfaction of a patient with this process is a major determinant of the clinical outcome.
This study sought to determine the proportion of patients who were satisfied with their doctor-patient encounter and the patient-related factors that affected patients’ satisfaction with the consultation process.
A clinic-based, cross-sectional study using a modified version of the General Practice Assessment Questionnaire (GPAQ), which employed a systematic sampling technique, was used.
The questionnaires were administered on 430 patients within the ages of 18 years and 65 years.
Among the 430 subjects within the ages of 18 years and 65 years studied, 200 (46.5%) were males and 230 (53.5%) were females.
Only 59.3% were satisfied with their patient-doctor encounter.
The patient’s perception of time spent in the consultation, illness understanding after the visit, ability to cope with the illness after the visit, and ability to maintain health after visit were the only factors that affected patient’s satisfaction with the consultation.
In our environment, nonsatisfaction with the patient-doctor encounter is high.
Only few factors considered to encourage a patients satisfaction at primary care consultation contributed to end-of-consultation satisfaction.
This calls for refocusing so as to improve the overall patient care in our cultural context and meet the patient needs in our environment.
