Patients' sense of medical gain on family doctor contracting services in China: scale development and preliminary validation.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

The system of family doctor contract services is a crucial component of China's primary healthcare system. Patients enrolled in family doctor contract services typically receive more comprehensive health services. However, it remains uncertain whether the family doctor contract services can fully meet the healthcare needs of patients. Despite extensive research on family doctor contract services, there has been relatively little investigation from the perspective of patients' sense of gain, and there are no specific tools available to measure patients' sense of gain in healthcare. Therefore, this study aims to develop a scale to measure patients' sense of gain in family doctor contract services.

Methods

This study enrolled 600 patients under family doctor
