Abstract
The study aimed to explore and describe factors which impacted on the satisfaction of patients using the curative component of primary health care in the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan area. A qualitative, explorative and contextual design was followed in this study. Focus group interviews were used to collect data from clients, nurse clinicians and community health committee members.
Findings indicated that there was lack of facilities, resources and supplies, lack of safety and security measures, negative attitudes of nurse clinicians, lack of community involvement and lack of clinic management involvement. Suggestions were made by the groups on how to improve the curative primary health care service and intervention strategies were identified from the suggestions made.
The implementation of these strategies will help with the improvement of the service delivery at the clinic for primary health care.
