Life Satisfaction Survey, which is periodically conducted by Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT), reported a growing increase in the proportion of overall satisfaction with health services among Turkish citizens from 39.5% in 2003, just before the beginning of the HTP, to 73.04% in 2010 [ 14].
A correlational study examining surgical patient satisfaction as an outcome of nurse caring in six European countries, reports that caring behaviors enacted by nurses determined a consistent proportion of patients' satisfaction [ 16].

In line with our results, they could explain a high proportion of variance in patient satisfaction by patient involvement.
