Abstract
Background
Community engagement is advocated to improve quality of services using community score card. Current study was done with the objective to formulate the TB-PSC and to carry out its feasibility assessment at three selected public healthcare facilities of Himachal Pradesh, India.
Methods
A mixed-method study design was adopted for the study and was carried out from April 2022 to March 2023. A total of 36 IDIs and four FGDs were carried out to conceptualize, and formulate the structure, components, and scoring mechanisms of TB-CSC. To assess the effect of TB-PSC at three primary health centres (PHCs), pre- and post-study design was used for change in level of satisfaction adapting patient satisfaction questionnaire (PSQ-18).
Results
Based on gathered information from IDIs and FGDs, TB-PSC was developed. It comprised of a total of 22 questions related to four domains of availability (9), accessibility (4), and quality (5) of services along with perceived stigma and discrimination (4). TB-PSC was implemented for five months in each PHC in interface-meetings. Mean PSQ score was observed to be significantly high (2.5 vs 2.6) after intervention.
Conclusion
TB-PSC implementation is feasible in interface meetings and makes them more participatory and effective.
