| description | Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) are gaining significance in the field of psychiatry, with patient satisfaction being a key measure. However, it is unclear if patient satisfaction in psychiatry is influenced by variables outside the treatment setting. This brief report thus examines the possible impact of perceived discrimination and devaluation (PDD) on patient satisfaction in the psychiatric outpatient setting. Data from 1,126 individuals who were undergoing or had recently completed treatment at 15 outpatient centers of the Psychiatric University Clinic in Basel, Switzerland, was analyzed. Patient satisfaction was assessed using the Münsterlingen Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (MüPF), and perceived stigma was measured with the Perceived Discrimination Devaluation Scale. The results revealed a positive small effect size relationship between MüPF and PDD, suggesting that patients who perceived less stigma report higher treatment satisfaction. This relationship may affect most ratings, with the total MüPF score remaining relatively robust against this potential influence. Linear regression analysis indicated that a one-unit increase in PDD score could lead to a maximum change of 1.8 points on the 7-point Likert scale for the MüPF item correlating highest with PDD and 0.4 points on the total MüPF score. These findings highlight the importance of considering perceived stigma when evaluating patient satisfaction with psychiatric outpatient treatment. Future research should investigate associations between stigma, patient satisfaction, treatment outcome, as well as other external factors that may influence patient satisfaction in psychiatric settings. |
