Abstract

Background: The infections caused by drug resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae are becoming an important health problem worldwide. There are several reports on antimicrobial resistant status of K. pneumoniae in Iran. However, a comprehensive analysis on drug-resistant K. pneumoniae from different parts of Iran has not yet been performed. Methods: The searches were done according to several English and Persian databases including PubMed, Scopus, Iranmedex, and SID to identify studies addressing antibiotic resistant K. pneumoniae in Iran from Jan 1998 to Nov 2014. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (V2.2, Biostat) software was used to analyze the data. Results: The incidence rate of imipenem and ceftazidime resistance in K. pneumoniae isolates was 3.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5-6.5) and 55.7% (95% CI, 46.9-64.1), respectively. The highest rate of resistance in isolates of K. pneumoniae was seen against ampicillin (82.2%), aztreonam (55.4%) and nitrofurantoin (54.5%). Conclusion: There is a relatively high prevalence of drug resistant K. pneumoniae isolates in Iran. Thus, a high degree of awareness among physicians and microbiologists, active infection control committee, appropriate antimicrobial therapy, improvement of hygiene condition and monitoring of drug resistant isolates are urgently needed in order to better control the emergence and spread of drug-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates in hospital settings.

Abstract

Objective: This study attempts to identify factors contributing to patients' satisfaction and to examine the relationship between patient satisfaction and patient expectations., Methods: The study sample consisted of 360 patients randomly drawn from the outpatients' practice of 2 health centers in Irbid, North Jordan; a university and governmental one. Patients' satisfaction was assessed using a self-administered patient satisfaction questionnaire. Patients' expectations were assessed by exposing patients to a series of video clips showing pre-tested patient provider encounters., Results: On average, users of the Community Health Center had lower expectation levels and higher satisfaction means when compared to users of the University Health Center. The study results showed that patient satisfaction was mainly influenced by patient expectation of received care even after adjustment for socio-demographic variables., Conclusion: This study therefore, argues that while assessment of patient satisfaction is useful as a monitoring indicator for overall health care delivery performance, still interventions are required to improve the delivered care. There is a need to examine client expectations and tailor services accordingly since satisfaction measures can only diagnose a problem while expectation assessment can identify clients needs and thus program managers can better design health services delivery.
