2.5. Treatment satisfaction assessment
To evaluate the level of patient satisfaction with the implemented nursing interventions, a treatment satisfaction survey was utilized post-intervention. This tool was designed to measure patients’ satisfaction in 3 distinct categories: (1) satisfied: This category captured the patients who felt that the nursing interventions met or exceeded their expectations and that their health outcomes had significantly improved; (2) basic satisfaction: patients in this category believed that the nursing interventions had somewhat met their expectations, providing them with a moderate improvement in health outcomes. (3) Dissatisfied: patients who felt that the nursing interventions did not meet their expectations and had little to no improvement in health outcomes were grouped here.The overall satisfaction rate was derived by summing the patients in the “Satisfied” and “Basic Satisfaction” categories. This measure was used to gain a holistic view of the overall contentment of the patients with the nursing care provided.Given the distribution of our data and to ensure accurate inter-group comparisons, Fisher exact test was chosen. This decision was made especially relevant due to instances of cell counts <5 in the data matrix, where conventional methods like the chi-square test might not render precise results.
