3. What is the Frequency and relationship between Percentage respondents profile and patients satisfaction in terms of: a. Nurses as a Caring Person

Age=Not Significant Gender=Not Significant Marital Status=Not Significant

These findings demonstrate that no important relationships among variables may be concluded from this study. It is possible that a larger sample size may influence the correlation of the personal profile with the other variables.

Since the results of the study showed that no relationship between the Bedside Nursing care and Patient Satisfaction exists, then it is recommended that the nursing students try to excel in their Bedside Care Performance and at the same time, provide a better care for their patients. They should do their best in both variables since these two are important factors of being a great nurse.
