To identify key domains where pediatric patient and parental healthcare preferences diverge and determine the extent to which children perceive hospital experiences differently from their parents.
Administered 47-question survey instruments tailored for adults, older children, and younger children among pediatric patients aged 4–17 years and their parents or guardians following hospital discharge.
Assessed feedback across seven domains: admission process, nursing interactions, physician interactions, hospital care, hospital environment, discharge preparation, and overall satisfaction.
Significant differences between pediatric patient and parent responses were observed across all seven evaluated domains.
Children under 13 years of age reported fewer physicians inquiring directly about their healthcare, with the youngest pediatric cohort reporting the poorest interactive experiences.
Pediatric patients reported lower levels of pain and higher satisfaction with room cleanliness and admission procedures relative to parental proxy ratings.
