Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Because of the limitations of published studies concerning patient acceptance of new health professionals and in the absence of published studies of patient acceptance of the family nurse practitioner, the present study compared levels of satisfaction among patients seeing a family nurse practitioner (Primex) with satisfaction levels among patients seeing traditional providers (doctors, nurses) withing the same setting. Based upon 1,912 patient-provider encounters using multiple evaluation criteria in ten ambulatory care settings, it was found that patient satisfaction with the Primex was equal to or more favorable than levels of satisfaction with traditional providers on four out of five measures.
