In a cross-sectional study, the statistical population consisted of the patients referring to two university hospitals in Bushehr, namely Persian Gulf Hospital and Bushehr Heart Center. In total, 402 patients were selected using the stratified random sampling method. Data was collected using a demographic questionnaire and the validated Persian version of the standard World Health Organization questionnaire on health system responsiveness to assess responsiveness level during 2015.Results
Responsiveness level was statistically different between the two hospitals (2.34±0.58 and 2.70±0.5, respectively). In general, access to social support (3.05± 0.93) and choice of health provider (1.75±0.93) obtained the highest and lowest scores. Apart from confidentiality and access to social support, a statistically significant difference was observed in other domains (dignity, autonomy, communication, quality of basic amenities, choice of health care provider, and prompt attention (between the two hospitals.Conclusion
