Predictors of Nursing Care Quality among Discharged Patients in a Level 1 Private Hospital

Patient safety, contentment, and health outcomes depend on high-quality nursing care. It boosts healthcare efficiency, communication, and personalization. As frontline caregivers, nurses provide safe, effective, and person-centered interventions to deliver quality care. However, there are limited studies concerning nursing care quality being predicted by specific variables at the local level. This quantitative research made use of the descriptive, correlational (predictive) research design to assess the predictors of nursing care quality among 153 patients in a level I private hospital for the period of first quarter of 202. Findings revealed that ppatient satisfaction, health promotion, prevention of complications, well-being and self-care, functional readaptation, nursing care organization, and responsibility and rigor were rated as very high. Overall, the nursing care quality was very high. Patient satisfaction, health promotion, prevention of complications, well-being and safe care, functional re-adaptation, nursing care organization, and responsibility and rigor predicted overall nursing care quality. This means that the higher the patient satisfaction, health promotion, prevention of complications, well-being and safe care, functional re-adaptation, nursing care organization, and responsibility and rigor, the higher the overall nursing care quality. To address the findings of the study, a nursing quality care improvement plan was proposed.
