Abstract Background: Postoperative rehabilitation, including physiotherapy and nursing care, plays a crucial role in enhancing recovery outcomes and patient satisfaction. Understanding patient experiences is essential to improving care delivery and ensuring a patient-centered approach.

Objective: This study aimed to explore patient experiences and satisfaction with postoperative physiotherapy and nursing care in a tertiary hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Methods: A qualitative descriptive design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with 20 patients who had undergone postoperative rehabilitation. Thematic analysis was used to identify key themes related to patient satisfaction.

Results: Five major themes emerged: (1) Quality of Care Provided, emphasizing the professionalism and competence of healthcare providers; (2) Communication and Patient Education, highlighting the importance of clear instructions and emotional support; (3) Accessibility and Availability of Services, with concerns about scheduling challenges; (4) Pain Management and Comfort, reflecting satisfaction with pain relief strategies; and (5) Psychological Impact of Rehabilitation, stressing the need for emotional and motivational support.

Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of personalized, culturally sensitive care, improved accessibility, and enhanced psychological support to optimize postoperative rehabilitation experiences. Addressing identified challenges can improve patient satisfaction and rehabilitation outcomes.
