Dimensions and indicators of patients' perceived nursing care quality in the hospital setting

Article Abstract:

There needs to be a standard instrument of patients' satisfaction with nursing care, similar to the patient satisfaction with hospital care instruments, to be the indicator of nursing care quality. Changes in the health-care business have resulted in reduced nursing staff and similar changes that could impact patient safety and care quality. However, until some way of measuring patient satisfaction is designed, impacts cannot be determined. A standard instrument could provide feedback to both the professional and non-professional nursing staff.
