Abstract : Background Patients are the best recruiter of patients if given prompt treatment and comprehensive care. Patient satisfaction with nursing care has been strongly advocated to be an important indicator of the quality of nursing care delivery which raises concerns in many areas, including information communication, privacy, physical and psychological care, availability and accessibility of nurses, and emotional care. The aim of this study centred on identifying the domain of nursing care received by in-patients of Afe Babalola Multisystem Hospital (AMSH) and determining the level of patient satisfaction towards nursing care in AMSH.  Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional, descriptive design was employed. A convenience sampling technique was used to select 102 patients admitted to surgical wards (male and female), Medical wards (male and female), renal wards, accident and emergencies and maternity wards. The Qualipak nursing quality questionnaire (QUALPAC) was used to collect the required data. Data were analysed using SPSS software version 27. Pearson chi-square test and logistic regression analysis was used.  Results Patients received overall moderate nursing care (64.7%) in the framework of physical, communication and psychosocial care. Overall satisfaction with nursing care received was found to be 76.5%. Among the domains of nursing satisfaction, satisfaction towards communication care (89.2%) and physical care (80.4%) showed a high level and satisfaction towards psychosocial care (58.8%) care was lower compared to other dimensions. Respondents’ between the ages of 18-25 years (P< 0.05, Odd ratio- 14.569, CI: 679.461– 0.312), male patients (P< 0.05, Odd ratio- 8.850, CI: 7.477– 0.097), single patients (P< 0.05, Odd ratio- 5.130, CI: 7.569- 0.035), primary education (P< 0.05, Odd ratio- 40.123, CI: 2021.829– 0.076), patients admitted to male renal ward (P< 0.05, Odd ratio- 2.328, CI: 196.160– 0.028) and patients who chose expert doctors as a reason (P< 0.05, Odd ratio- 4.900, CI: 25.509– 0.009) were associated with patient satisfaction. Nursing care received was high among admitted patients in male medical wards, female medical ward and male renal ward.  Conclusion Patientsin this study received moderate nursing care in the three domains of nursing care. A high nursing satisfaction was received. To increase satisfaction with nursing care, greater emphasis should be given to the psychosocial care of patients.
