Background: The perception of rehabilitation nurses about the quality of care reflects the complex panorama of quality in health in a complementary way.
Objectives: To describe the perception of rehabilitation nurses about their contribution to the quality of care and analyze the association with their socio-professional characteristics.
Methodology: Quantitative, cross-sectional and correlational study. A questionnaire for sociodemographic and professional characterization and the Scale of Perception of Nursing Activities that Contribute to Nursing Care Quality were used. Data were collected on June 5, 2019, from all rehabilitation nurses working at the time in inpatient units in the public sector. The statistical analysis was both descriptive and inferential.
Results: The Patient satisfaction and Responsibility and rigor dimensions obtained the highest scores.
A significant correlation was found between the Patient satisfaction, the Well-being and self-care, and the Functional readaptation dimensions and the time spent providing care.
Conclusion: The participants’ performance is aligned with quality standards, particularly in the Patient satisfaction and Responsibility and rigor dimensions.
