When these four aspects on holistic care approach grouped with the demographic variables, specifically the social and spiritual aspects, when grouped with age showed significant differences with a p-value of 0.001, which meant that with age, perceptions with care satisfaction significantly varied in terms of social and spiritual aspects.
