Parent Satisfaction With Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Care in Specialty Services
Introduction:
This study examined parent satisfaction with care provided to their children by Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (PNPs) in specialty areas at a tertiary care pediatric hospital.
Method:
A convenience sample of parents of children cared for by 19 PNPs in different specialty settings completed a confidential survey consisting of demographic information and the Parents' Perception of Satisfaction with Care from the Pediatric Nurse Practitioners Instrument (PPSC-PNP). Data were analyzed using SPSS (IBM, Armonk, NY).
Results:
The overall PPSC-PNP mean score was 129.82/140. Mean subscale scores ranged from 27.15 to 28.51/30. The general satisfaction score showed a mean score of 18.31/20. No statistical difference was found in parental satisfaction when scores were analyzed by the child's age, parent participant, or patient setting.
Discussion:
These findings indicate that parents are highly satisfied with the care their children receive from PNPs across various subspecialties regardless of the child's age and clinical setting.
