Description: The purpose of this study was to develop a children's patient satisfaction instrument (CPSI) for children 10-12 years of age. Six hospitalized children were interviewed to determine content for the instrument. A panel of experts critiqued the instrument for content and face validity. The instrument was revised and prepared for further investigation. To enhance the utility of the instrument, more subjects should be interviewed to include children 8-10 years of age and children from diverse backgrounds. After further research, appropriate testing of reliability and validity should be performed. Interpretation of patient satisfaction scores from the CPSI as an equivalent to quality of care may be premature since further testing of the instrument is needed.
