Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Construct Validity of PQA (Perception of Quality in Anesthesia)

  PQA is a 16-item questionnaire that measures the satisfaction of the patient with the anesthesia approach applied in the perioperative period. Survey questions assess 5 topics: Factor A: attention/courtesy; Factor B: pain management; Factor C: knowledge/trust; Factor D: POB; and Factor E: concerns addressed. For each question, the patient is asked to answer using a five-point Likert scale. The extremes of the scale are labeled 'very poor' to 'very good' or 'definitely no' to 'definitely yes' depending on the question. Patient responses to each PQA Likert scale and visual analog questions are scored from 1 to 5. 'Absolutely no' or 'very poor' is scored as 1 and 'definitely yes' or 'very good' is scored 5.
