Objectives:

This descriptive study was conducted to determine the relationship between perioperative care quality and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.

Materials and Methods:

The study was carried out with 133 patients between July 2020 and November 2021. The Introductory Characteristics Information Form, Quality Perioperative Nursing Care scale, and Newcastle Nursing Care Satisfaction scale were used to collect data. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro-Wilk tests, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Dunn test, Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient, and linear regression analysis were employed to evaluate the data.

Results:

It was determined that the mean age of the patients participating in the study was 55.44±18.92 years, 51.9% were female, 73.7% were married, and 42.1% were primary school graduates. The total mean score of the Quality Perioperative Nursing Care scale was 147.44±14.71 [minimum (min): 0, maximum (max): 160], and the total mean score of the Newcastle Nursing Care Satisfaction scale was 94.65±7.73 (min: 19, max: 95). It was determined that there was a moderate positive correlation between the Quality Perioperative Nursing Care scale total score and the Newcastle Nursing Care Satisfaction scale total score, and when the Quality Perioperative Nursing Care scale score increased by 1 unit, the Newcastle Nursing Care Satisfaction scale score increased by 0.291 units.

Conclusion:

It is recommended that nurses direct the care by reflecting the evidence-based practices related to perioperative nursing care to the clinic.
