Jämförelse av individanpassade inlägg gällande patientnöjdhetsgrad med en ny metod för snabbt justerade prefabricerade inlägg (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

Background: A new method has been developed at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, enabling patients to have individually adjusted insoles delivered the same day as the initial appointment to the department of Prosthetics and Orthotics (DPO). During the manufacturing of the insoles, named the ICE-method, the patients' individually adjusted insoles are placed in the freezer for quicker solidification. The ICE-method has not yet been evaluated regarding patient satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if there is a difference in patient satisfaction between groups of patients with diabetes being provided with either insoles made according to the ICE-method or insoles being made with traditional plaster-based methods.

Our hypothesis is that there is a statistically significant difference in patient satisfaction, regarding services and devices, between the ICE-method and the traditional plaster-based methods.

Methods: Statistical tests will be used on data from previously conducted surveys to investigate our hypothesis.

The Results showed no statistically significant difference in patient satisfaction between groups of patients with diabetes being provided with either insoles made according to the ICE-method or traditional plaster-based methods. 

Conclusion: no statistically significant differences between the methods were found. 

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: En ny metod har utvecklats på Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhus, som gör det möjligt för patienter att få sina inlägg levererade samma dag som deras första besök hos ortopedtekniska avdelningen. Under tillverkningen av dessa inlägg, med den så kallade ICE-metoden, placeras patienternas individuellt justerade inlägg i frysen för snabbare stelning. ICE-metoden har ännu inte utvärderats angående patientnöjdhetsgrad. 

Syfte: studiens syfte är att utvärdera eventuella skillnader i patientnöjdhetsgrad mellan grupper av patienter med diabetes som fått förskrivet antingen inlägg tillverkade enligt ICE-metoden eller med traditionella gipsbaserade metoder. 

Våran hypotes är att det förekommer en statistiskt signifikant skillnad i patientnöjdhetsgrad, gällande service och hjälpmedel, mellan ICE-metoden och traditionella gipsbaserade metoder.

Metod: Statistiska tester kommer att användas på data ifrån tidigare genomförda enkäter för att undersöka våran hypotes.

Resultat: inga signifikanta skillnader i patientnöjdhetsgrad kunde påvisas mellan grupper av patienter med diabetes som fått förskrivet antingen inlägg tillverkade enligt ICE-metoden eller med traditionella gipsbaserade metoder.

Slutsats: Inga statistiskt signifikanta skillnader gällande patientnöjdhetsgrad.
