Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effect of the ۵S intervention program on the clientschr('۳۹') satisfaction in healthcare centerschr('۳۹') services. Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental study was done with ۲۲۰ pregnant women at a health center in Ahvaz in ۲۰۱۸. The quality gap and weaknesses were measured before the ۵S implementation using the adornment system (۵S) checklist and SERVQUAL questionnaire. Interventions were designed and implemented concerning the system weaknesses, and the next evaluation was carried out two months after the intervention.SPSS.۲۱ software was used for data analysis. Data were analyzed using paired t-test and descriptive statistics. Findings: The ۵S score was ۲.۴ before the ۵S implementation and ۴.۲ after the intervention. The study revealed that although the average score of expectations of the Ahvaz community health centerchr('۳۹')s clients is higher than their perception, the ۵S implementation has decreased the gap, and in general, in the studied center, the provided service quality is still less than the center clientschr('۳۹') expectations. Conclusion: Implementation of ۵S can improve the work environment adornment and the satisfaction of health centerschr('۳۹') clients.
