About this trial
The general aim of this study is to assess and analyze the level of patient satisfaction with nursing care among inpatients in the ordinary wards of the AOU Maggiore della Carità in Novara (Italy). Using the validated Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scales (NSNS), the study intends to produce reliable and comparable data that reflect patients' perceived quality of care across multiple dimensions, including relationships, emotional support, information, and time devoted by nurses. The study aims to provide an updated overview of patient experiences, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. These results will offer guidance for organizational and educational strategies to promote more personalized, human-centered nursing care aligned with international quality and safety recommendations, without altering routine clinical practice.
