OBJECTIVE: To evaluate affecting factors and the relationship between patients' attitudes towards the nursing profession and perceptions of nursing care. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Hafsa Sultan Hospital of Celal Bayar University, Manisa, Turkey, from September to November 2014, and comprised inpatients. Data was collected by using a patient information form, the attitude scale for the nursing profession and the patient perception of hospital experience with nursing care scale. SPSS 21 was used for data analysis. RESULTS: Of the 604 participants, 320(53%) were female and 266(44%) were aged 60 years or above. Mean satisfaction level on the patient perception scale was 70.79±6.69, and on the attitude scale 176.77±11.63. A positive, statistically significant relationship was found between the two scores (p< 0.01). It was detected that the age for patient perception of nursing care, and gender and education level for patients' attitudes towards the nursing profession were the affecting factors (p<0.05 each). CONCLUSIONS: Nursing care satisfaction and positive attitudes towards the nursing profession increased while patients' perceptions of nursing care improved.
