title: Patient satisfaction with nursing care in Alexandria, Egypt.
abstract: The study assessed the satisfaction of medical and surgical patients in a university hospital in Egypt using the La Monica/Oberst Patient Satisfaction Scale. In spite of the nursing shortage in that hospital, the results indicated that patient satisfaction was high. The implications for nursing care are discussed in terms of the validity of the scale and the objectivity of clients when responding to the questionnaire.
