With 100 samples taken through non-probability sampling method via purposive sampling, and with the use of weighted mean, standard deviation, t-test for independent samples, One-way ANOVA, and Pearson’s r, this study reveals the following findings: 1) Of the 100 respondents, mostly are within the age range of 13 years old & above, mostly are female with college level of education; 2) Nursing Care Quality in Jolo is very good; 3) Except for hospital where patient admitted, variables like age, gender, educational attainment, and ward admitted do not mediate in ways how respondents assess the Nursing Care Quality in Sulu Sanitarium and General Hospital; 4) This study seems to support Florence Nightingale's Environmental Theory, which provides a definition of Nursing as the utilization of the patient's environment to facilitate their recovery. The nurse takes the initiative to establish suitable environmental conditions that facilitate the progressive recovery of the patient's health. Additionally, external elements related to the patients’ surroundings have an impact on their biological and physiological processes, as well as their overall development.
