Purpose
This study was aimed to examine how subjects' characteristics and nursing service quality influence hospital revisiting intent, to compare perceptions of patients with those of nurses.
Methods
The questionnaire was developed and distributed to 300 patients and nurses at six general hospitals in a provincial city, Korea. For data analysis, the SPSS/PC program was used.
Results
The nursing service quality's scores of patients is 3.61, that of nurses is 3.77, and there is a significant difference. The hospital revisiting intent's score of patients is 4.84, that of nurses is 4.61, and there are no significant differences. In subjects' characteristics, patients perceive that the hospital is the only different factor, and place hospital revisiting intent at 3.6%. Nurses perceive that education level and position are different factors, and place hospital revisiting intent at 3.3%. In nursing service quality, patients perceive that 2 attributes explain hospital revisiting intent at 17.8% and 2 factors explain it at 16.5%; whereas, nurses perceive that 2 attributes explain hospital revisiting intent at 15.3% and 3 factors explain it at 12.2%.
Conclusions
There are perception gaps between consumers and providers. So nursing and hospital managers must recognize these facts and provide various marketing strategies to overcome them.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to develop a tool that measures the quality of nursing service, to measure the quality of nursing service perceived by consumers, and to identify the gaps between ideal and actual nursing services.
Method
A questionnaire was developed and distributed to 300 people who had been hospitalized in one of six general hospitals with quality of nursing services in five provincial cities in Korea. For data analysis, the SPSS/WIN(ver 10.0) program was used.
Result
The 20 attributes included in the instrument of quality of nursing service is abstracted into 2 factors : tangibility and intangibility. In quality analysis, 15 of 20 attributes are minus scores, meaning that those nursing services are perceived as generally low. However among the minus scores' attributes, only two attributes are significant statistically. Gaps between importance and performance of the nursing service exists in 19 among 20 attributes.
Conclusion
Nursing service quality (performance-expectation) needs to be improved, and Gaps (importance-performance) reduced. In addition, a tool measuring nursing service quality has to be developed so nurses can deal successfully with the quality and gaps of nursing service perceived by consumers.

Service quality is, unlike goods quality, an abstract and elusive term. However, quality is very important
to marketers and consumers in that it has many strategic benefits in contributing to profitability of
marketing activities and consumers' problem-solving activities.
The main purpose of this study is

To achieve these purposes of the study, the questionnaire was developed and distributed to 210 nurses
who worked at seven subjected hospitals in Seoul. Also, 280 people who had a direct experience with the
subjected hospital nursing services at the time of screening were involved. They were randomly selected at
the seven subjected hospitals during August to September of 1998. Among them, 165 responses from nurses
and 229 responses from others resulted in worthy finds. The measurement instrument for a nursing services
quality evaluation was modified from the SERVQUAL model originated from Parasuraman, Zeithaml, and
Berry (1988). The reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated and showed high degree of internal
consistency (Cronbachs' Alpha = .9353). For data analysis, SPSS/PC was used for descriptive statistics,
t-test, ANOVA and regression analysis.
The results were as follows:
1) In the perception about nursing services quality, there were gap between consumers and
providers. Especially the critical attributes in point of perception nursing services quality,
naming satisfy, hygiene and performance factors, are very different contents.
2) In the comparison analysis of the usefulness tools it was turned out that SEVPERF model is more
appropriate than SERVQUAL model. And in the analysis to identify the construct validity of the
tool, it is turned out that the relationship between the constructing factors of the tool and the
general satisfaction is significant.

Abstract
PDF
Recently, the hospitals in Korea has positively changed one way or another. Therefore hospital managers must focus on the nurses' role in terms of consumers' perception of overall image of hospitals and the degree of satisfaction of the consumers To achieve the purposes, the questionnaire was developed and distributed to 280 people who had a direct experience with nursing services subjected hospitals in Seoul at the time of screening. among them, 229 responses were turned out to be useful and used for final analysis. The measurement instrument for hospital nursing service quality evaluation was modified from the SERVQUAL model originated from Parasuraman, Zeithaml, and Berry(1988). For data analysis, SPSS/ PC and PC-MDS program were used. The results were as follows : 1) The perception map showed that the seven subjected hospitals were divided into three groups. It could be interpreted that the hospitals in the same group had a strong competitive relationships. Because the nursing services' scores of hospitals C and E were higher than those of other hospitals, they could be served as a benchmark for the other hospitals. 2) The marketing place of hospital nursing services was divided by four. Since service generally had a strong point in nearby service market segment, Aiming an nearby hospital nursing services market segment by the hospital nursing services department was regarded as a good repositioning strategy. 3) When consumers evaluated the quality of hospital nursing services, they were greatly affected by the hospitals' overall image or other characteristics. Therefore, for improving hospital's nursing services, hospital nursing services department requires a great deal of labor to improve hospitals' overall image or other characteristics.
