ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Few studies evaluate the satisfaction of patients with cancer receiving palliative care with the nursing care received.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate satisfaction among patients with cancer in hospitalised palliative care with respect to the nursing care they received.
METHOD: This was a quantitative, descriptive-correlational and cross-sectional study that was reported in accordance with Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. It was carried out in a university hospital in the city of Belém, Brazil. The participants were adults with cancer who were receiving palliative care and who had been hospitalised for more than 72 hours. Data collection took place between December 2022 and September 2023, and instruments were used for bedside interviews.
RESULTS: Patients receiving minimal care reported being satisfied with their nursing care in the technical-professional dimension (p=0.04).
CONCLUSION: The association between patient satisfaction and the degree of dependence is unprecedented in the scientific scenario and has the potential to motivate more in-depth studies in this area.
