Abstract
With a great decline of patients of pulmonary tuberculosis in National Sanatoriums, children with other chronic diseases have increased in recent years.
Because of this changing pattern of admitted patients, it is needed to develop a new task for managing daily life of children.
In order to clarify this problem, we sent questionnaire to every National Sanatorium and obtained the following results;
1) The number of wards with chronic diseases in children was found to be 68 (9.6%).
2) The percentage of night duty with more than 2 nurses per pediatric ward was 63.6.
3) The highest incidence of night duty was 10 per month.
4) The highest incidence of nurses number per ward was 13 to 15, and that of nurses aids was 2 to 3.
5) The highest incidence of number of admitted children in the hospital was less than 30 and the maximal number was 210.
6) Some problems on annexing school, number of pediatricians and daily life of patients in ward were discussed.
