    Author: Ammentorp J, Mainz J, Sabroe S.
    Journal: Pediatr Nurs; 2006; 32(4):333-40, 348. PubMed ID: 16927726.
    Abstract:
    AIMS: To investigate determinants of parents' priorities and satisfaction in relation to pediatric inpatient care and to examine the relationship between fulfillment of expectations and satisfaction. METHODS: The study took place in a pediatric acute care inpatient department with 300 parents of children admitted consecutively. Data were collected by means of two self-administered questionnaires. Parents completed one questionnaire immediately after their child's admission and the second after hospital discharge. RESULTS: Having confidence in the doctors, getting answers to questions about care and treatment, and being satisfied with the nurses' and doctors' behavior, were found to be determinants of having a satisfaction score above average. Waiting time was a relatively weak determinant of being satisfied in general, although a short waiting time was one of the items given the highest priority score.
