Dimensions of satisfaction with mental health treatment.

This article reports the development and underlying factor structure of a brief measure of consumer satisfaction. Four factors, accounting for 69.1% of the variance, were extracted. They appeared to measure satisfaction with the quality and outcome of treatment, satisfaction with the intake process, satisfaction with the timing of the termination of treatment, and satisfaction with the costs. Analysis of the content of responses to open-ended questions revealed that most consumer concerns had been addressed in the multiple-choice section of the questionnaire. Differences in client groups in level of satisfaction were found on one factor but not the others, supporting the conclusion that satisfaction should be considered multidimensional.

The community and the dying.

The St. Barnabas Committee is a voluntary group whose members are concerned with the quality of life of the dying person. They focus their work on advocacy for needed programs, on public education, and on supportive visiting with dying patients and the network of family, friends, and staff who interact with those patients. Decrying the trend to professionalize and institutionalize services that meet basic human needs, this article describes the St. Barnabas Hospice Committee as an example of community members trying to take care of their own. The role of the psychologist as a consultant rather than leader is discussed.
