Objective: The objective was to know the patient´s opinion regarding the elements of the care they receive during hospitalization that are important to attain their well-being. Methodology: Exploratory qualitative study. The participants included 30 key informants who had been hospitalized in general surgery and were interviewed in their homes after they were discharged, using a semi-structured interview guide. Results: Technical and interpersonal care are essential factors to attain well-being during hospitalization. The infrastructures, services provided by other departments and meeting the patient´s expectations are also important elements. Conclusion: Hospitalized patients perceive wellness when they are treated properly and attended by trained personnel. It is important to consider the other issues that modulate the perception on well-being, which depend directly on the hospital environment.
