Abstract

The purpose of the research was to develop instruments to assist nurse researchers and nurse managers in the measurement of patient satisfaction with nursing care. The final instrument differs from existing instruments in three important ways: (1) includes cognitive, affective, and behavioral aspects of attitude formation, (2) focuses on the profession's view of nurses' roles as seen by the patient-consumer and (3) is conceptually based using theory derivation within King's (1981) systems framework.
