Mean scores of the EORTC INPATSAT-32.
(A) shows the mean scores for the intervention ward and the compiled control wards at baseline. (B) shows the mean scores for the compiled control wards at baseline and T1. (C) shows the mean scores for the intervention ward at baseline and T1. (D) shows the mean scores for the intervention ward and the compiled control wards at T1. IN-PATSAT32 scales: ACC = access, COM = comfort, DAV = doctors’ availability, DIP = doctors’ information provision, DIS = doctors’ interpersonal skills, DTS = doctors’ technical skills, EXE = exchange of information between caregivers, GEN = overall quality rating, NAV = nurses’ availability, NIP = nurses’ information provision, NIS = nurses’ interpersonal skills, NTS = nurses’ technical skills, OTH = other personal interpersonal skills and information provision, WAI = waiting time.
