Abstract
Background: Patient satisfaction is the perception of the level of care received
compared with the care expected and represents a balance between the perception and
expectation of the nursing care received. Patients' satisfaction with nurses' care has
become a significant way to measure the quality of care.
Objective: To study the level of asthma patients' satisfaction towards nursing
management.
Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Al-Shaab Teaching
Hospital. The sample size was 129 patients. All patients who fulfilled the inclusion
criteria were interviewed. Data were collected using a standardized administered
questionnaire and analyzed by the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version
25, presented in the form of tables and figures.
Results
38% of the patients were aged between 25-44 years, and 78.3% were non-smokers.
Patients were satisfied regarding the cost of asthma care, availability of medications, time
that nurses spent with patients, and quality of information received from nurses at 51.2%,
49.6%, 76.7%, and 9.8% respectively. Overall, 69% of asthmatic patients had a strong
level of satisfaction related to nursing management.
Conclusion
The study concluded that most patients had a strong level of satisfaction related to
nursing management. There was a statistically significant association between total
satisfaction, treatment regimen, and the periodicity or frequency of asthmatic attacks,
with a P-value of 0.01.
