The findings show there is high level of satisfaction among immobilizedrthopedic patients towards nursing care in both hospitals 62.5% (n=75) UKMMC and 65.4% (n=). Component of nurse patient relationship also shows the positive relationship between nurse and patient. There are 56.7% (n=119) and 43.3% (n=91) having negative relationship with nurses. The chi square test shows the significant relationship between patients education level and nurse - patient relationship p<0.005 (x2=0.001) and p<0.005 (x2=0.028) towards level of satisfaction. Nurse patient relationship is predictor factor in this study which is 5.7(1/0.175) times more associated with satisfaction of nursing care [OR= 0.175;, 95% CI = 1.799]. Positive relationship between nurse and patient will contributes to the high level of satisfaction towards care given by nurses.
