2.5. Telemedicine Satisfaction Questionnaire

The Telemedicine Satisfaction Questionnaire (TSQ) was used to assess satisfaction with telemedicine after Romanian translation and cultural adaptation had taken place [19]. The TSQ has 14 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (“strongly disagree”, “disagree”, “neither agree nor disagree”, “agree”, “strongly agree”) with a good internal validity and consistency [20]. A maximum overall score of 5 can be obtained, indicating the maximum level of satisfaction with telemedicine. The other three maximum scores of 5 corresponded to quality of care provided, similarity to in-person / face-to-face interaction and perception of the interaction.
