ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has required a shift to telehealth services. However, not all patients are similarly satisfied with this shift, with some studies finding that midlife and older adults are less comfortable with telehealth. The current study examined patient satisfaction with a virtual intensive outpatient program (VIOP) for eating disorders (EDs) among 305 adults (ages 18-25, ages 26-39, and ages 40+), and compared adult satisfaction to satisfaction among children/adolescents (n = 33) receiving VIOP treatment between August 2020 and March 2022 from a large ED treatment facility. It was hypothesized that adults aged 40+ would report lower satisfaction than younger age groups. Patients completed several questions regarding satisfaction with treatment upon discharge, including a question about likelihood of recommending the program, which was used to calculate a Net Promoter Score (NPS). The NPS was 33.3 for children/adolescents, 33.3 for 18-25 year-olds, 57.7 for 26-39 year-olds, and 30.9 for the 40+ year age group. NPS of 31-50 = quality services; 51-70 = excellent customer experiences. Satisfaction was high, with no statistically significant differences between age groups after Bonferroni correction. The current study adds to the limited literature on the treatment experiences of midlife adults with EDs.
