Objective:
To unveil patient satisfaction attributes related to safety and quality of care.
Methods:
Qualitative study carried out in a public university hospital in the south region of Brazil. Data were collected in November 2018 through 24 interviews with patients/families from 12 clinical and surgical hospitalization units. Thematic analysis was carried out.
Results:
The satisfaction attributes were categorized in terms of structure, process, and care outcome, and they were related to: access to the service, amount of personnel, environment, interaction with the health team, staff's technical competence, perception of safety with the presence of a relative, assistance patterns present in the care, and change in the health status of the patients.
Conclusions:
It was verified that the structural aspects were relevant in the patient's experience, besides the relationship established with the health team in the care process, and the technical assistance standards perceived in the staff's work.
