本研究是為了瞭解手術病患家屬，於病患手術期間對等候環境、醫護人員服務方面的「需求」和「滿意」情形以及可能影響家屬需求的因素。本研究問卷係參考陳敏麗、吳素蘭（民85）設計之「手術病患家屬需求量表」，再依本研究目的做修改及信、效度測試，使符合研究調查。於87年10月1日至88年5月31日，共取得有效樣本101份。以百分比、平均數、標準差、ANOVA等方法，做資料的統計及分析。 研究結果發現：病患家屬在四大類需求中，以「得到病患訊息」需求的重要程度為最高，得分為4.42（總分為5）；而以「得到支持及安慰」較低。家屬對「需求」之滿意程度也是以「得到病患訊息」方面的得分較高，而得分為3.20（總分為5）；以「與病患相處」方面的得分較低。病患家屬的年齡及病患手術科別與「得到支持及安慰」之需求呈顯著差異，而教育程度與「得到病患訊息」之需求亦呈顯著差異；同時，病患家屬的教育程度及職業與總滿意度有顯著差異。病患家屬在「與病患相處」需求之滿意情形與「得到支持及安慰」之需求呈正相關。因此，由本研究結果找出病患家屬最想得到之需求為何？且由手術室護理服務之滿意度結果，以作為手術護理服務改善參考。
