Literature search was made in the electronic databases MEDLINE and LILACS, using the descriptor "patient satisfaction". After the first review of the results and refinement of the search, 14 full papers were selected and were used as the study sample. Results.

The less frequent items in the papers were: Theoretical reference (14.3%), research question (35.7%), assumptions (42.8%) and limits (14.3%). The updated references (92.8%), justification and objectives were present in 100% of the studies. Conclusion.
