Abstract
To assess perceptions of the neuropsychological evaluation, 349 patients and 218 significant others presenting to an academic medical center neuropsychology service were surveyed over a two year period. Thirty-seven percent of the patient surveys (n = 129) and 37% of the significant other surveys (n = 80) were returned. Overall, both patients and significant others reported being satisfied with the interview, testing, and feedback sessions. Responders were generally receptive to the recommendations made, but were more inclined to have followed recommendations regarding patient safety (63.6%) than coping or support (31.8%). Some barriers to compliance with recommendations were identified.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
