Abstract
Patient satisfaction has gained widespread recognition as an important indi cator of quality of care. In this study, we analyzed quality of care in cor relation with patient satisfaction. Our results indicate that the overall s atisfaction of quality of care of HIV/AIDS patients in a dedicated HIV/AIDS unit is affected mainly by the patient's perception of his/her health stat us, level of professional or family support, and the patient's level of inv olvement in treatment decisions.
