Data collection was completed in a period of 3 months. 352 questionnaires were collected (response rate 88%). The Pyramid Questionnaire for parents of hospitalized children was used which estimates the degree of parental satisfaction from the care provided to their hospitalized child.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> Results:<\/strong> More parents were satisfied with health care professionals\u2019 behavior (81,9%), the supplied care (78,2%) and the information provision to parents regarding the hospitalized child\u2019s disease (71,9%). In contrast, less parents were satisfied with their hospitalized child\u2019s involvement in care (52,3%) and the accessibility to the hospital (39,5%). The overall parental satisfaction ranged in very good level (76,8%) and it was higher on hospital A (78,8%), among married parents (77,4%) and those not al all concerned or concerned less for child\u2019s illness (83,1%). Logistic regression model showed that hospitalization in hospital B and the great concern for child\u2019s illness and its complications decreased ovewrall satisfaction by 24% and 17% respectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> Conclusions:<\/strong> The assessment of the degree of parental satisfaction is the most important indicator of hospitals\u2019 proper functioning. From our study certain areas need improvement, such as: the parental involvement in child\u2019s care, information provision, the accessibility to the hospital, the communication and the interpersonal health care in order greater satisfaction to be achieved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Parental satisfaction, pediatric care, quality<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABSTRACT Introduction: Measuring parental satisfaction is of major importance for pediatric hospitals and the key component of evaluating the quality of services provided to health services.<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[794],"tags":[682,801],"eidos-arthrou":[],"keyword":[],"language":[],"class_list":["post-3531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-iss_1_10","tag-george-koulierakis","tag-spyridoula-tsironi"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3531"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3531\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3532,"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3531\/revisions\/3532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3531"},{"taxonomy":"eidos-arthrou","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/eidos-arthrou?post=3531"},{"taxonomy":"keyword","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keyword?post=3531"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/periodiko.yaba.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=3531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
