: Missed nursing care (MNC), defined as any omitted or delayed aspect of required patient care, is a global concern affecting both patient outcomes and nurse well-being. In Saudi Arabia, few studies have examined its relationship with job satisfaction. This study assessed the prevalence of MNC, job satisfaction, and their association among nurses in government hospitals. : A correlational, cross-sectional study was conducted between February and May 2025 in government hospitals across Albahah, Hail, and Almadina. A total of 366 registered nurses participated. Data were collected via a structured online questionnaire including demographic information, the Missed Nursing Care Scale, and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman's correlation, and regression analysis. : Basic care activities such as mouth care, bathing, and meal assistance were the most frequently missed tasks, mainly due to staffing shortages and high patient loads. The median MSQ score was 60 (44-71 Interquartile Range), reflecting moderate job satisfaction. A significant negative correlation was observed between MNC and job satisfaction (r = -0.267, < 0.001), indicating that increased missed care was associated with lower satisfaction levels. : The findings highlight the urgent need for healthcare administrators and policymakers to implement strategies to improve staffing levels and work environments. Addressing these organizational factors is essential to reducing missed nursing care, enhancing nurse job satisfaction, and ultimately improving patient safety and care quality in Saudi government hospitals.
漏护（MNC）被定义为所需患者护理中任何被遗漏或延迟的方面，是一个影响患者结局和护士福祉的全球关注问题。在沙特阿拉伯，很少有研究探讨其与工作满意度的关系。本研究评估了政府医院护士中漏护的患病率、工作满意度及其关联。
2025年2月至5月间，在阿卜哈、海勒和麦地那的政府医院进行了一项相关性横断面研究。共有366名注册护士参与。通过一份结构化在线问卷收集数据，问卷包括人口统计学信息、漏护量表和明尼苏达满意度问卷（MSQ）。使用描述性统计、Spearman相关性分析和回归分析对数据进行分析。
诸如口腔护理、洗澡和用餐协助等基础护理活动是最常被遗漏的任务，主要原因是人员短缺和患者负荷高。MSQ得分中位数为60（四分位间距为44 - 71），反映出中等工作满意度。观察到漏护与工作满意度之间存在显著负相关（r = -0.267，< 0.001），表明漏护增加与较低的满意度水平相关。
研究结果凸显了医疗保健管理人员和政策制定者迫切需要实施策略来提高人员配备水平和工作环境。解决这些组织因素对于减少漏护、提高护士工作满意度以及最终改善沙特政府医院的患者安全和护理质量至关重要。
