Background and Objective: Caring is a moral virtue that lies at the core of nursing care and is a key element in this practice. On the other hand, parental satisfaction is one of the most important factors influencing the care of hospitalized children. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the relationship between the ethical care of nurses and the satisfaction of parents of children hospitalized in Ardabil Children's Hospital in 2024.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study conducted in 2024 at BouAli Medical Education Center in Ardabil, Iran, 200 clinical nurses and 160 parents of hospitalized children were selected using a census and stratified random sampling method. The data collection tool included a Questionnaire on the Personal-Social Characteristics of Nurses and Parents, Pediatric Ethical Care (2023), and Parental Satisfaction and its Associated Factors (2022). Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 26) using descriptive (absolute and relative frequency, Mean and SD) and analytical (t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient) statistics. The Normality of the data was checked using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
Results: The findings showed that 95% of clinical nurses were female and 43% were formal employment status. Additionally, 54.4% of the hospitalized children were boys, and 34.4% were hospitalized with respiratory diseases. The average score of ethical care and parental satisfaction were measured at 152.77 ± 4.25 and 300.81 ± 11.94, respectively. The highest score in ethical care for children was found in the domain of "emotional needs (47.63 ± 2.21) , while the highest score in parental satisfaction was attributed to "care and treatment Subcomponent with ( 131 ± 5.05). The results showed a direct and significant relationship between ethical care of children and parental satisfaction (r=0.47, P<0.001). The Stepwise regression test showed that among children's ethical care subcomponents, the "Emotional Needs Factor" was the strongest predictor of parental satisfaction.
Conclusion: Implementing nursing care based on ethics is one of the most important factors in the satisfaction of parents of hospitalized children and the quality of child care. Providing nursing care by nurses who adhere to the principles of nursing care can improve the quality of nursing care. In addition, it is vital to involve hospital managers and officials for a better implementation of this process.
