The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between quality requirements and quality dimensions according to the points of view of physicians, nurses, and patients.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> This descriptive study was carried out in hospitals under supervision of Medical Sciences Universities, in 4 provinces of Tehran, Fars, Lorestan, and Yazd (Iran). A group of 432 physicians and nurses answered the Quality Requirements Questionnaire which includes the 4 components of competitive, ethical, professional, and accountability requirements. Furthermore, 500 patients answered the Quality Dimensions Questionnaire, including the 11 dimensions of security (safety), professionalism, empathy (friendship), politeness, reliability, accountability, working speed, competency, accessibility, flexibility, and tangibles. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pearson_product-moment_correlation_coefficient&oldid=595201415">Pearson</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pearson_product-moment_correlation_coefficient&oldid=595201415">correlation coefficient</a> and multiple regression method were used to analyze the data in SPSS software.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><strong>Results:</strong> The mean quality requirements and quality dimensions scores in the studied hospitals were, respectively, 3.75 and 3.61, both of which were at a higher than medium level. Moreover, the results of Pearson correlation coefficient suggested that the competitive, professional, and ethical components of quality requirement had a significant and direct association with quality dimensions. However, there was no significant association between the accountability component and quality dimensions variables. Furthermore, based on the results of multiple regression and the determination coefficient, it is possible to claim that approximately 13% of variance in quality dimensions depend upon the mean of components of quality requirements.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> It can be concluded that work commitment, attention to work, respect for ethical principles, and fair competition at the work place between physicians and nurses lead to the provision of safe and high quality services in hospitals. </span></p> Service, Quality, Requirements, Dimensions, Physicians, Nurses 154 162 http://johe.rums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-158-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Z Bahrami Nejad zahrabahraminejad00@gmail.com 22400319475328460011777 22400319475328460011777 No Dept of.
