The research question was whether there exists a relationship between quality of nursing diagnoses in nursing documentations and patient's satisfaction with nursing diagnoses. The hypotheses stated that a positive relationship between nursing diagnosis and patient satisfaction exists; high quality of nursing diagnoses in the nursing documentation goes along with high patient satisfaction with nursing diagnoses. The sample consisted of 57 patients, their nursing documentations and nurses of three dermatological units of a university hospital in Switzerland. ⋯ Patients satisfaction with nursing diagnoses was rather high. One of three subscales in both instruments yielded a significant correlation. The statistically significant, but low relationship suggests the need for further study.
