Breast type (>34%) in both groups (HP COP). comparable age, sex distribution, place origin, educational qualification, cancer. Among HP, experience satisfaction scales NSNS showed good internal consistency 235, α >0.9, r > 0.7), while among COP, only scale 62, 1.00). Most patients' perceptions (level satisfaction) hospitalization services positive (98% 97%, respectively).An instrument specifically designed for ambulatory care is necessary it useful assessing perception nursing care.
