Özet: Objective: Pediatric nurses should evaluate children's satisfaction with nursing care from the children’s perspective to provide individualized care. This study was aimed to evaluate the quality of nursing care from the children’s perspective. Methods: Descriptive study was carried out with 164 children aged 7-13 years in a university hospital. The data were collected by 'Information Form' and ‘The Scale Evaluation Quality of Care From Children’s Point of View'. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis H, post hoc Bonferroni test, and Spearman correlation. Results: Children’s age mean was 10.86±2.24, 59.1% were male, 40.2% received treatment in the general pediatric service, and 79.9% had hospitalization experience. 33.5% of children had chronic diseases. The total scale scores and the "Psychosocial Care" sub-dimension mean scores of the children who were hospitalized in hematology/oncology clinics and who had more hospital experience were statistically higher (p<0.05). The total scale score and subscale mean scores of children with chronic disease were statistically significantly higher (p<0.05). A positive correlation was found between the number of hospitalizations of children and the mean score of total scale, 'Psychosocial Care' and 'Physical Care' subdimensions (p<0.05). It was a positive correlation between the length of hospitalization of children and the means score of the 'Psychosocial Care' subdimension (p = 0.021). Conclusion: Children with chronic illnesses, hospitalization experiences, more hospitalization, and a long stay in the hospital stated that nursing care was better. In line with these results, it can be suggested that nurses should inform the children about service, disease, and treatment from the hospitalization, organize activities for children in hospital, and spend time with children in addition to physical care to evaluate their needs holistically.
