ObjectiveTo analyze the satisfaction of service recipients with the preliminary assessment service of the unified elderly care needs evaluation in Shanghai, so as to provide reference for further optimization of the service system.MethodsA multi-stage random sampling method was employed to recruit participants. A total of 110 individuals who had received unified elderly care needs evaluation service in six districts of Shanghai were investigated using a structured questionnaire. SPSS 25.0 was used to analyze the data. Univariate analyses were conducted using the Chi-square test and Fisher’s precision probability test, while multivariate analysis was performed using ordinal regression.ResultsThere were differences in satisfaction with various aspects of the preliminary assessment process among participants from different areas, with those from outer suburbs generally exhibiting lower satisfaction (P<0.01). Multivariate analysis results indicated that satisfaction with the timing of the preliminary assessment was related to the service recipients’ residential area and their primary source of income; satisfaction with the service attitude and capability of the assessment personnel was only related to the residential area. Satisfaction with the preliminary evaluation results was related to the participants’ marital status, educational level, income level, and the specific rating results.ConclusionThe satisfaction level with the preliminary assessment of the unified elderly care needs assessment in Shanghai is relatively high. In the process of evaluation, a deeper analysis and exploration of individual needs based on various personal information are essential to ensure the appropriateness of the provided elderly care services, and thereby effectively enhancing recipient satisfaction.
