Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the satisfaction level of care services depending on the activities of daily living and types of care services for inpatients with chronic disease. Methods: The participants consisted of 156 chronically ill patients. A structured questionnaire and personal interviews were used for collecting the data. The data were analyzed using SPSS (ver. 12.0) program for frequency, t-test, ANOVA, multiple regression analysis. Results: The chronically ill patients taken care of by family members were more satisfied with care services than those taken care of by paid caregivers. Also, the more able the patients were for their daily living activities, they were more satisfied with care services. In addition, type of care services was the most important factor in terms of affecting patients' satisfaction with care services most. Conclusion: The result of this study suggests that nurses need to pay more attention to those with low activities of daily living and taken care of by paid caregivers, who have the probability of low satisfaction of care services.
