A comparison of counselee and counselor satisfaction in reproductive genetic counseling.

Abstract:

:Important insights in the process of genetic counseling can be provided by establishing levels of satisfaction. The aim of our study was to compare counselees' and counselors' satisfaction with the initial consultation in reproductive genetic counseling and to gain insight into the factors associated with their contentment. One hundred and fifty-one women and 11 counselors participated in this study. Pre-test questionnaires included counselees' socio-demographic, physical and psychological characteristics, i.e. their degree of worry, expectations, preferred participation in decision making and experienced degree of control. Post-visit questionnaires asked for counselees' and counselors' satisfaction, counselees' participation in decision making and counselees' Perceived Personal Control (PPC). Little difference was found between counselees' and counselors' overall visit-specific satisfaction (mean 79 vs 74, respectively, on a visual analogue scale from 0 to 100). The correlation between counselees' and counselors' satisfaction was medium sized (r = 0.26, p < 0.01). Counselees' satisfaction was positively associated with being pregnant and with their post-visit PPC. Counselors' satisfaction was positively associated with counselees' post-visit PPC. No other counselee and counselor related variables appeared to be associated with satisfaction, nor was the duration of the consultation. Our findings suggest that, although both groups were satisfied with the consultation, counselees and counselors do not always have equal perceptions of the consultation process and may form their evaluation in different ways. In the assessment of quality of care, evaluation of both counselees' and counselors' satisfaction deserves more attention.
