The aim of this study was to evaluate patients\u2019 satisfaction with a newly introduced enhanced recovery protocol (ERP) for esophagectomy. At hospital discharge, patients were invited to complete a questionnaire. This pseudonymized questionnaire contained 5-point Likert scales regarding items on multidisciplinary care (n\u2009=\u20097), information\/communication (n\u2009=\u20097), length of stay (n\u2009=\u20091), and specific adaptations of care in the ERP (n\u2009=\u200911). One open question asked for patient experiences and suggestions for improving the ERP. Between May 2017 and December 2021, 521 patients were included in the ERP after esophagectomy. Of them, 327 patients (63%) completed the questionnaire. Response rates were evenly distributed between genders and slightly higher in younger patients (&amp;lt;60\u00a0years; 68%) as compared to elderly patients (&amp;gt;70\u00a0years; 60%). Quantitative analysis revealed high satisfaction rates for multidisciplinary care (86.8%), information\/communication (84.9%), and ERP adaptations (82.2%), and length of stay was considered optimal in 80%. There were no significant differences in satisfaction observed between gender nor age groups. For the qualitative analysis, there were 108 open answers, resulting in 268 statements. Sentiments expressed in these statements were evaluated as negative, positive, or unspecified. Negative sentiments were attributable to alimentation, organizational factors, and communication. Positive sentiments were attributed to interpersonal relations, multidisciplinary care, and ERP. Overall, patients are very satisfied with the ERP for esophagectomy during hospitalization. By incorporating qualitative data, the results of this quantitative analysis are expanded and elucidated, showing areas where improvements to our ERP are possible to increase patient satisfaction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/dote\/doae079","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]],"date-time":"2024-10-07T13:01:17Z","timestamp":1728306077000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluation of patient satisfaction with an enhanced recovery protocol for esophageal resections: a concurrent quantitative and qualitative analysis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4553-3102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johnny","family":"Moons","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospitals Leuven , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]},{"name":"Department of Chronic Diseases , Metabolism and Ageing, BREATHE, , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]},{"name":"KU Leuven , Metabolism and Ageing, BREATHE, , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanne","family":"Declerck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospitals Leuven , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]},{"name":"Department of Chronic Diseases , Metabolism and Ageing, BREATHE, , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]},{"name":"KU Leuven , Metabolism and Ageing, BREATHE, , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eveline","family":"Gijbels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospitals Leuven , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marleen","family":"Jans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospitals Leuven , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Puttevils","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospitals Leuven , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toni","family":"Lerut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospitals Leuven , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]},{"name":"Department of Chronic Diseases , Metabolism and Ageing, BREATHE, , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]},{"name":"KU Leuven , Metabolism and Ageing, BREATHE, , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philippe","family":"Nafteux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospitals Leuven , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]},{"name":"Department of Chronic Diseases , Metabolism and Ageing, BREATHE, , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]},{"name":"KU Leuven , Metabolism and Ageing, BREATHE, , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Theo","family":"Van Achterberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Primary Care , Academic Centre for Nursing and Midwifery , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]},{"name":", KU Leuven , Academic Centre for Nursing and Midwifery , Leuven,","place":["Belgium"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]]},"reference":[{"article-title":"RIZIV\/INAMI convention complex surgery oesophagus and gastro-oesophageal junction hospital-specific report: hospital S3","year":"2022","author":"Belgian Cancer Registry","key":"2024112912520580700_ref1"},{"issue":"2","key":"2024112912520580700_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"221","DOI":"10.1002\/jso.27159","article-title":"What has the past taught us about the future in esophageal cancer?
