<![CDATA[Background: The development of the healthcare system in Indonesia places patient satisfaction as a primary indicator of hospital quality. The quality of nursing care is a vital aspect because nurses have direct and intense interactions with patients, which influences perceptions of service quality. However, most previous studies have emphasized technical dimensions over interpersonal aspects such as empathy and communication. Purpose: To determine the relationship between nursing care quality and patient satisfaction. Method: This quantitative study used a descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 625 patients, with a sample of 95 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was a valid and reliable questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test. Results: The quality of nursing care was classified as good in 65 respondents (68.4%) and poor in 30 respondents (31.6%). Patient satisfaction levels were categorized as satisfied in 79 respondents (83.2%) and dissatisfied in 16 respondents (16.8%). The chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant relationship between nursing care quality and patient satisfaction. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the quality of nursing services and patient satisfaction. Keywords: Nursing Service Quality; Patient Satisfaction; Service Quality.
