Abstract
Background: Patient satisfaction is the degree of congruence between a patient’s expectations
of ideal nursing care and perception of the real nursing care receives. Satisfied patients are more
likely to comply with treatment, take an active role in their own care, continue using health care
services and stay within a health provider. On the other hand unsatisfied patient will not come
back to the hospital, and it will lead to loss of income from the patient, as well as wastage of
government resources and most importantly healing process is obviously compromised. In
Ethiopia, studies conducted so far are very limited on subject of inquiry. As a result, this study
was assessed the patient satisfaction with nursing Care provided by nursing student.
Objective: The study assessed patient satisfaction on student nursing care service in Black lion
hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2015.

structured questionnaires were employed to collect data. Data were analyzed using SPSS version

with p<0.05 in multiple logistic regression were considered as predictors of students’ nursing
care satisfaction.
Result: In general, 197(54%) patients were satisfied with student nursing care service. patients
who stayed for 2-10 night were less likely to be satisfied(AOR =0.437& 95% CI=0.210-.910)
compared to those stayed for >22 nights. Patients who had previous admission were 2.0 times
more likely to be satisfied than those who didn’t had previous admission (AOR =2.01& 95%
CI=1.100-3.703) and Patients who had other diseases in addition to current health problem were
less likely to be satisfied (AOR =0.273& 95% CI= 0.139-.536) than those who didn’t had.
Patients who were under acute condition were 2.7 times more likely to be satisfied than those
under chronic condition (AOR=2.7&95%CI=1.320-5.461).

the overall students’ nursing care services. This study also revealed predictors of satisfaction
