The results of a recently reported consumer survey were further examined by means of a factor analysis. Two factors emerged: the major one reflecting the general perceived helpfulness of the day hospital, and a secondary one which correlated positively with the rated helpfulness of talking to nurses and negatively with the helpfulness of medication. Day attenders who rated talking with nurses as more helpful showed a greater tendency to be married with children.
