Abstract
In order to verify the relation between the degree of satisfaction of family attending a child and individual factors/environmental factors being hospitalized survey was conducted by a questionnaire, which was originally created by this researcher referencing precedent studies. In the relation between attending family's satisfaction and environmental factors being hospitalized, the degrees of family's satisfaction were significantly high in a pediatric ward compared to a mixed ward, in being installed a play room compared to not being installed it, and in being staffed properly by childcare persons and volunteer compared to not being staffed by them (each p=0.001, p=0.038, and p=0.017). And many hospitals did not prepare a simple bed for attending family, not have spaces for families to take a rest, and not serve a food for them. From now on it is anticipated that reduction or closing of pediatric ward by declining birthrate will increase the number of children who are treated in a mixed ward. Having children treated in a mix ward may reduce the degree of family's satisfaction further. But, it is suggested that there are possibilities to improve family's satisfaction by the way that childcare persons and volunteer are staffed with wards, and hospitals prepare spaces for attending family to take a rest and serve a meal for the family.
