ABSTRACT
 Objective: Today, the aging of the population and the increase in chronic diseases have caused the importance given to palliative care to increase day by day all over the world. The increase of the palliative care needs in Turkey has resulted in the increasing number of palliative care units. Considering that patient satisfaction and nursing care quality are directly related; in this study it was aimed to determine the nursing care satisfaction levels and the factors affecting this satisfaction in the patients hospitalized in palliative care units. Material and Methods: This study is a descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted in two state hospitals between October 2016 and December 2016. The sample of the study consisted of 154 patients hospitalized in the palliative units of two state hospitals. Patient information form and Newcastle Satisfaction with Quality of Nursing Care Scale were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, since parametric test assumptions were not met, Mann Whitney-U Test and Kruskal Wallis H test were used. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the demographic characteristics, income status, persons living together, attendant status and satisfaction level of nursing care (p>0.05). The levels of nursing care satisfaction among the patients differed in terms of dependency level, prior hospitalization and hospitalization time (p<0.05). Conclusion: Satisfaction levels were lower in patients who had no previous hospitalization experience. Therefore, it should be remembered for the patients hospitalized for the first time that they need nurse support and counseling in order to increase their satisfaction.

Keywords: Nursing care; palliative care; patient satisfaction
ÖZET
 Amaç: Günümüzde nüfusun yaşlanması ve dolayısıyla kronik hastalıklardaki artış palyatif bakıma verilen önemin tüm dünyada gün geçtikçe artmasına neden olmuştur. Türkiye'de de palyatif bakım ihtiyacının artması palyatif bakım kliniklerinin sayısının artması ile sonuçlanmıştır. Hasta memnuniyeti ile hemşirelik bakım kalitesinin doğrudan ilişkili olduğu göz önünde bulundurularak bu çalışmada palyatif bakım kliniklerinde yatan hastaların, hemşirelik bakım hizmetinden memnuniyet düzeylerinin ve bu memnuniyeti etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, Ekim 2016 ile Aralık 2016 arasında iki devlet hastanesinde yürütülmüş tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel bir araştırmadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini iki devlet hastanesinin palyatif birimlerinde yatan 154 hasta oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak hasta bilgi formu ve Hemşirelik Bakım Kalitesi ile İlgili Newcastle Memnuniyet Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, parametrik test varsayımları karşılanmadığı için Mann Whitney-U Testi ve Kruskal Wallis H testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: astaların demografik özellikleri, gelir durumları, birlikte yaşadıkları kişiler, refakatçi durumları ile hemşirelik bakımı memnuniyet düzeyleri arasındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmadığı saptandı (p>0,05). Hastaların bağımlılık düzeyi, daha önceden hastanede yatmış olmaları ve hastanede yatış süreleri ile hemşirelik bakımı memnuniyet düzeyleri arasındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu belirlendi (p<0,05). Sonuç: Daha önce hastanede yatma deneyimi olmayan hastaların olanlara göre memnuniyet düzeylerinin daha düşük olduğu belirlendi. Bu nedenle ilk kez hastaneye yatan hastaların memnuniyetlerinin artırılabilmesi için daha fazla hemşire desteği ve danışmanlığına ihtiyaç duydukları unutulmamalıdır.
