Aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the perception of nursing care quality and the satisfaction level of patients hospitalized in surgical services. Method: The sample of this descriptive, correlational study comprised 224 patients who were hospitalized and had undergone surgical intervention. A patient information form, the Caring Behaviour Inventory-24 and the Newcastle Satisfaction Scale from Nursing Care Scale were used to collect the data. The data were evaluated by number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis Test, and correlation analysis. Results: Of the patients, the mean age was 55.28±18.05 years, the length of hospitalization was 8.10±13.35 days, 62.5% were male, and 43.3% were primary school graduates. The care behaviors score of patients was found to be 4.87 (3.95-5.37), and the nursing care satisfaction score was 71.5 (57.00-82.75). A significant positive correlation was found between the total score of the patients' care scale and the total score of nursing care satisfaction (p <0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between age and educational status of patients and the total score of satisfaction, commitment, care behaviors and satisfaction total score (p <0.05). Female patients' knowledge-skills sub-dimension score was high, and there was a statistically significant difference between gender and the knowledge-skill sub-dimension (p <0.05). ÖZ Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı, cerrahi servislerinde yatan hastaların hemşirelik bakım kalitesi algılamaları ile memnuniyet durumları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı-ilişki arayıcı tipte yapılan araştırmanın örneklemini bir üniversite hastanesinde yatan ve cerrahi girişim uygulanan 224 hasta oluşturdu. Araştırmada verileri toplamak amacıyla "Hasta Tanıtım Formu", "Bakım Davranışları Ölçeği-24 (BDÖ-24)" ve "Newcastle Hemşirelik Bakımı Memnuniyet Ölçeği" (NHBMÖ) kullanıldı. Veriler sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, Mann Whitney U Testi, Kruskal Wallis Testi ve korelasyon analizi ile değerlendirildi.
