The aim is to develop and validate a specific instrument for measuring satisfaction with anxiolytic and hypnotic drug treatment. We determined the questionnaire’s convergent validity with respect to clinical effectiveness, tolerance, and treatment adherence. An observational study was conducted in 171 patients being treated with anxiolytic/hypnotic medications. The questionnaire to assess Treatment Satisfaction with Anxiolytics and Hypnotics (TSAN) was evaluated for reliability, construct validity, and correlation with measurements conceptually related to the said construct. The average score on the TSAN questionnaire was 42.6 points (SD: 8.4), showing a moderate negative correlation with respect to scores obtained on the Goldberg Anxiety (−0.312) and Athens Insomnia (−0.419) scales. The TSAN questionnaire is valid and reliable. It constitutes a patient-centered measurement tool that complements clinical evaluation of the effectiveness of anxiolytic/hypnotic drug treatment.

目的是开发和验证一种用于测量抗焦虑药和催眠药治疗满意度的特定仪器。我们确定了问卷在临床有效性，耐受性和治疗依从性方面的收敛效度。一项观察性研究在171名接受抗焦虑/催眠药物治疗的患者中进行。评估用于评估抗焦虑药和催眠药（TSAN）的治疗满意度的调查表的可靠性，构建体有效性以及与概念上与所述构建体相关的度量值之间的相关性。TSAN问卷的平均得分为42.6分（标准差：8.4），与戈德堡焦虑量表（-0.312）和雅典失眠量表（-0.419）上的得分呈中等程度的负相关。TSAN问卷是有效和可靠的。
