Purposes In the present rapidly evolving era of information technology and AI algorithms, textual data can be efficiently analyzed via text-mining techniques to gauge the sentiment of textual reviews. In this study, using empirical evidence supporting the validity of sentiment scores in relation to satisfaction, we employed additional analytical methods, including frequency analysis and word clouds, to pinpoint keywords that reflect the competitiveness of health examination services in customer perception. Methods The data used in this study were derived from satisfaction comments provided by examinees at a specific health examination center. The data, collected over the period between January 2021 and May 2023, comprised a total of 805 valid comments, on which we performed sentiment analysis, and accordingly obtained textual frequency statistics. Results The results revealed that positive sentiment responses from examinees constituted 74% of all comments, with the remainder of responses expressing negative sentiments. The average sentiment scores for the positive and negative groups were 0.91 and 0.67, respectively, indicating a significant disparity between the two groups. Commonly recurring terms in the text of the positive responses included“thank you,”“nurse,”“good,”“kind,”“thoughtful,”“hardworking,”and“professional,”thereby highlighting the emphasis examinees placed on the service-oriented attitude of nurses. Conversely, terms such as“waiting,”“too long,”and“examination”tended to be prominent in the responses of negative group examinees, thus highlighting issues relating predominantly to waiting times. Conclusions On the basis of our textual analysis, we identified the interpersonal service provided by health examination nurses as one of the most advantageous core competencies. We thus recommend investing in the nurturing of outstanding nurses to cultivate enhanced communication and service skills, and in the establishment of effective incentive mechanisms as key strategies for maintaining competitiveness. Additionally, concerns regarding waiting times could be addressed by harnessing the capabilities of information technology. Other viable strategies that could contribute to enhancing competitiveness include implementing measures to minimize the perceived waiting time, such as providing time estimations, updating examination progress, and offering facilities and information in waiting areas to divert attention. |
