Brief summary:
The primary objective of this thesis was to advance patient-centered and value-based healthcare by improving satisfaction with treatment results (STR) for patients with hand or wrist disorders. Aligned with the principles of these frameworks, the overarching aim was to enhance patients' well-being while focusing on the crucial role of individual needs, values, and goals in guiding medical decisions and interventions.
To accomplish this, the following objectives were pursued:
- Develop a more comprehensive understanding of satisfaction with treatment results and its related factors in patients with hand or wrist disorders;
