  • Title: Patients' satisfaction with physician assistant services.
    Author: Oliver DR, Conboy JE, Donahue WJ, Daniels MA, McKelvey PA.
    Journal: Physician Assist; 1986 Jul; 10(7):51-4, 57-60. PubMed ID: 10314633.
    Abstract:
    Research on patient satisfaction with physician assistants in rural primary care medical practices is lacking. This study attempted to: determine patients' satisfaction with family practice PAs in rural communities, assess patient perceptions of "comfort" with PAs in a range of hypothetical medical procedures, analyze patients' reactions to PAs as a function of patient characteristics, and document perceptions of changes in medical practices after PAs are employed. Findings support reports that patients are highly satisfied with PA services and extends those observations to rural primary care practices. Reaction to PAs is more favorable among women, more favorable in patients with more education, and more favorable among those with greater contact with PAs.
