It has been suggested that the health care system might be best assessed by the patient's own attitudes concerning the quality of service rendered (Wood, 1974). The purpose of this study is to analyze the psychosocial quality of the health service/hospital system in the greater Iowa City, Iowa area, and the relative emotional stability of hospitalized patients in several local hospitals. Specifically, a survey of 20 questions has been developed to assess (1) patient's attitudes and psychosocial outlook, (2) patient's self-perception. (3) situation generated feelings and (4) family/support group generated feelings. The comparative results of this experiment may indicate (1) the overall emotional status of hospitalized patients relative to non-hospitalized individuals and (2) the general psychosocial effectiveness of the hospital system (in the greater Iowa City. Iowa area). This information may be useful to both the medical/allied-health student and the inexperienced clinician, relative to various preconceived notions concerning the emotional state of hospitalized patients, in general.
