The authors assessed patients' satisfaction with their nursing care in seven hospitals. Five of the hospitals utilized the special care unit (SCU) method of delivering care to AIDS or oncology patients; three had SCUs for AIDS patients. All seven of the hospitals had integrated units (IUs) where general medical, oncology, and/or AIDS patients were received in various proportions. Satisfaction with nursing care was measured with the Risser Patient Satisfaction Instrument. Patient satisfaction with nursing care was shown to be a function of delivery method; AIDS and oncology patients on SCUs expressed greater satisfaction with their care than medical, oncology, or AIDS patients on IUs (p less than .001). Patient satisfaction with nursing care was greater among whites than nonwhites. Also, some major sociodemographic and case mix variables, such as age, employment status, and diagnosis, were not associated with patient satisfaction directly; in other instances, the associations initially seen did not hold when delivery method (SCU vs. IU) and race were controlled for in a linear regression analysis.
