Perceived satisfaction and humanized nursing care in surgical patients public hospital of Peru

Humanized care is the first aspect to consider to satisfy the surgical patient who will be or has undergone a surgical intervention.

Determine the relationship that exists between perceived satisfaction and humanized nursing care in surgical patients in a public hospital in Peru.

Descriptive, observational, correlational study, with a quantitative approach, with probabilistic sampling of 241 surgical patients. A validated questionnaire adapted to our reality was used, reporting a Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.890 (satisfaction) and 0.904 (humanized nursing care), presenting 36 multiple choice questions.

The age group of 18-29 years predominated in 26.6% (n = 64), with the average age X = 42.6 years with a DS of 14.47, female sex with 55.2% (n = 133), single marital status 48.5% (n = 117) and secondary education level was 60.2% (n = 145). The majority of patients were satisfied with the care received, reporting 84.6% (n = 204), also found in the dimensions: Humane 81.8% (n = 197), timely 78.8% (n = 190) and safe 80.1% (n = 193). The perceived humanized nursing care was good 81.3% (n = 196), it was also evident in the dimensions: Phenomenological 78.4% (n = 189), interaction 75.9% (n = 183), scientific 61, 8% (n = 149) and human needs (82.2%) (n = 198).

A moderate correlation was found between the variables, behaving in a moderately positive manner, that is, the higher the level of satisfaction, the higher the level of humanized nursing care in the surgical patient, and vice versa.
