摘要：Background: One of the elements influencing the assessment of nursing care quality is the assessment of the nurse’s functions that determine the nurse’s particular tasks. The aim of this work was to assess selected tasks involved in the nurse’s caring function, which influence nursing care quality on neurosurgical wards, on the basis of patients’ and nursing staff’s opinions. Materials and methods: The research was carried out on neurosurgical wards in Poland on a group of 455 patients and 75 nurses. In order to assess nursing care quality, an author’s original questionnaire (Questionnaire – Patient Satisfaction) was used. Results: Statistically significant differences concerned particular groups (both patients and nurses) in the assessment of selected issues: providing information about performed activities and operations ( P =0.000 and P =0.040), respecting personal dignity and assuring discretion during the operations ( P =0.000 and P =0.001), speed of response to patient’s requests ( P =0.000 and P =0.000), time availability of nurses for the patient ( P =0.000 and P =0.000), providing information about further self-care at home ( P =0.032, P =0.008), and nurses’ attitude (kindness, courtesy, tenderness, care) to patients (patient’s assessment only P =0.000). Conclusion: Selected tasks in the field of the caring function of nurses were assessed differently by particular groups. There were no statistically significant differences in the assessment of particular tasks in the opinions of patients and nurses, which means that both examined groups similarly assessed tasks involved in the nurse’s caring function, which influence nursing care quality.
