Evaluating patient satisfaction in therapeutic settings is consistent with a Risk–Needs–Responsivity (RNR) model. This study provides results from a program improvement initiative in a sexually violent person (SVP) civil commitment facility that queried patients and treatment providers about their satisfaction with therapeutic processes and assessment methods. Overall, patients reported high levels of satisfaction with treatment at the facility, with the highest levels of satisfaction on items about being treated with kindness and respect and staff acting professionally. Providers rated current assessment methods such as the Penile Plethysmography (PPG) assessment, polygraph testing, and neuropsychological testing as most helpful for patients in treatment progress; however, patients rated PPG assessment and polygraph testing as the least helpful of the assessments conducted. Soliciting patient feedback periodically could be important for maintaining treatment engagement and discovering opportunities to enhance patient satisfaction to treatment in a SVP civil commitment setting.

评估治疗环境中的患者满意度与风险-需求-响应 (RNR) 模型一致。这项研究提供了性暴力者 (SVP) 民事承诺机构的项目改进计划的结果，该机构询问患者和治疗提供者对治疗过程和评估方法的满意度。总体而言，患者对设施的治疗表示高度满意，对受到善意和尊重的治疗以及工作人员表现专业的项目满意度最高。提供者将当前的评估方法（如阴茎体积描记法 (PPG) 评估、测谎仪测试和神经心理学测试）评为对患者治疗进展最有帮助的方法；然而，患者将 PPG 评估和测谎仪测试评为最无帮助的评估。在 SVP 民事承诺环境中，定期征求患者反馈对于维持治疗参与和发现提高患者对治疗满意度的机会可能很重要。
