This 28-item questionnaire assessed nurses’ perception of the relationship between job satisfaction and the quality of care they deliver, and factors that affect the delivery of a quality care and job satisfaction. The questionnaire was distributed to 80 nurses (RNs, LPNs, and nursing assistants) who work in direct patient care at a small Minnesota hospital. Analysis included descriptive and correlation. The research found that there is a positive correlation between nurses’ job satisfaction and quality of care they deliver. The study also found that work-load, staff scheduling and stress to be the most significant factors that affect the delivery of a quality care. Moreover, pay/compensation, work environment and care quality are found to be the factors that affect nurses’ job satisfaction most.
