Background Considering patient’s experiences about non clinical aspect of health care services is now seen as a key characteristic of an effective health system. This study looks into the Responsiveness in Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences, 2015.Methods & Materials In this cross-sectional and explanatory study, 189 hospitalized patients in Vasai hospital were selected using a stratified and simple random sampling. Standard Responsiveness Questionnaire was used as the data collection tool. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests and ANOVA by SPSS 16 at a significance level of 0.05.Results Access to the social support during hospitalization achieved the highest score while patient autonomy received the least score. There was a significant relationship between Access to the social support and patient’ gender (P≤0.05). Results showed significant differences between wards in this hospital and Access to the social support and Quality of basic amenities (P≤0.05). From patient view point the total score for this hospital was (2.43±0.60) that showed the moderate level of responsiveness. Conclusion More than ever trying to institutionalize the principle of responsiveness culture in this kind of training educational hospital should be regarded. In this way it could be helpful to design a new scientific approach to implement and evaluate responsiveness in hospital regularly. It also would be an effective way to design suitable guideline and checklist along with improve clinical governance and clinical audit

Background: Elderly patient's length of stay in hospitals is very important and similar research is low. This study was aim to determine the factors affecting on length of stay of hospitalized elderly Vaseie hospital in Sabzevar (2014) using numerical regression models. Materials: This study was a cross-sectional study for modeling of length of stay in elderly patients in Vaseie hospital during second 6 months of 1392 in Sabzevar. 3330 elderly were selected using convenient sampling and the amount of length of stay was considered as the response variable and demographic variables as independent variables. Count regression models were used to analyze the data at a significant level of 0.05 using SAS software (version 9.2). Result: The mean age was 74/2 ± 8/4, 50/3% were male and mean length of stay of elderly patients was 4/8 ± 3/5 days. Also according to the regression model, there was not a statistically significant relationship between length of stay with sex, but relationship between age with length of stay was statistically significant (P= 0/008). So that the number of hospitalization days were increased approximately one day for one-year increase in age. Conclusion: Since the hospitalization stay is a count variable, count regression models introduced in this study are functional and very suitable statistical models and recommend for similar cases.
