Satisfaction of Patients With Spinal Cord Injury With Self-Care Teaching by Nurses: Is It Influenced by Learning Readiness?

Purpose: The aims of the study were to measure satisfaction of patients with a spinal cord injury (SCI) with discharge teaching by nurses and to examine the relationship between their stage of learning readiness and satisfaction.

Design: Quasi-experimental.

Method: Ninety-seven patients were surveyed to determine satisfaction using the Modified Client Satisfaction Tool; nurses determined the stage of learning readiness for patients with SCI using the Olinzock Model.
