Abstract
Objective: A cross-sectional correlational design was used to describe patients’ satisfaction with primary healthcare nurse practitioners and identify factors associated with their satisfaction regarding the services received in a remote region of Quebec, Canada.Methods: Patients who received care from eight primary healthcare nurse practitioners were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire. STROBE checklist was adhered.Results: A total of 574 patients were recruited (participation rate: 76.6%). Patients were very satisfied with the healthcare services received, relationship with the practitioner, information received, duration of the consultation, and the overall consultation (89.6%-93.3%). The only variable associated with a higher likelihood of being very satisfied with the overall consultation was a longer duration of the consultation (adjusted OR: 1.029; CI: 1.005-1.054; p = .018).Conclusions: The high level of patients’ satisfaction and trust with healthcare nurse practitioners is a potential contributing factor to past and future success of their integration in primary healthcare services.
