Considering that the health and progress of each society are largely based on women's health, the aim of this study was to determine the quality of midwifery care from the viewpoint of service recipients using the SERVQUAL model in Sanandaj comprehensive health centers in 2017.

In this descriptive-analytical study, 1920 women who were referred to comprehensive health centers in Sanandaj were studied for midwifery care. The sampling method was multi-stage. For data collection, the SERVQUAL questionnaire was used. Data were analyzed by SPSS-23 software using descriptive statistics, paired and independent t tests and ANOVA.

In all aspects of the quality of service provided there was a negative gap. The highest gap in the reliability dimension(69/1-) and the lowest gap in the responsiveness dimension  (58/1-) were obtained. There was also a significant relationship between quality gap and age (P=0/001), education level (P=0/001)  and occupation (P=0/003).
Conclusio: In all aspects of quality, the level of customer expectations was higher than their perceptions. It is recommended to pay attention to the comments and complaints of clients, while providing access to staff in case of need, to provide services at all office hours, and to use modern equipment .

Patient satisfaction is an indicator of the health services that is increasingly important in today's competitive world and perhaps the simplest method for evaluation of family physician program. This study aimed to determine the level of satisfaction of service recipients in urban areas in Fasa, Iran, with implementation of the Family Physician Program.

Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 18 using independent-samples t-test, chi square test, and ANOVA.
Only 1.7% of people had little satisfaction. However, the majority of people expressed consent in all aspects of the Satisfaction of the Family Physician Project. The highest levels of satisfaction were observed in care, respect, trust and belief and the emergency services were observed in the lowest level of satisfaction.

The quality of communication skills of health care providers has a significant impact on patient treatment consequences. The present research has been conducted to check the relationship of communication skills on the rate of patients’ satisfaction in the clinics of one of the hospitals in Isfahan. This research was a descriptive-analytical study. The used tool was a standard checking list for evaluating the patients’ satisfaction and also the researcher-made checking list for the measurement of effective communication skills. The checking list was completed by the researcher in the clinics by using the comments of patients or their relatives. Sampling was performed by using the regular random sampling method. The researcher-made checking list for the measurement of effective communication skills was confirmed by the experts with the face validity, structure, content, and reliability (α = 87%). After visiting the patient by the physician, the mentioned list was filled by using the patients’ comments, and the collected data was analyzed by SPSS software version 16 with calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient and α2. The study showed that there was a significant relationship between the application of communication skills in the five areas of verbal, body language, effective communicating, establishment, patient privacy and patient participation, except for eye communication of the physician with patients’ satisfaction (P-value < 0.05). Using the communication skills by physicians is associated with patients’ satisfaction, and it is the cause of increasing the acceptance of the physician by the patient. Therefore, it is suggested that the opportunity to improve the communication skills should be provided in addition to clinical skills in continuing education programs for the medical community.
