Aim of the research: Investigate the level of parental satisfaction with children´s health care at the Department of Pediatrics and the Department of Pediatric Surgery of the Zadar General Hospital, and determine whether there are statistically significant differences in parental perception of the quality of children´s health care with regard to the Department in which the child has been hospitalized. Subjects and Methods: The subjects of the study that was conducted were parents of hospitalized children at the Department of Pediatrics and Department of Pediatric Surgery of the Zadar General Hospital. An anonymous survey questionnaire „Parental perception of child care quality during hospitalization“ was created on Google Forms and it was used as a measuring instrument for the purpose of this research. Based on their preferences, parents willing to participate in the survey virtually accessed the survey questionnaire via a link forwarded on the mobile application WhatsApp/Viber, or less frequently, via e-mail. The total number of study participants was 136 (N=136). Statistical data processing was conducted in the software package Statistica 13 (TIBCO Software Inc., 2018). Differences between the responses of parents whose children were hospitalized in two different wards of Zadar General Hospital were tested by the χ2 and Mann-Withney test. The criterion of statistical significance of differences is p<0,05. Results: The average age of the respondents was 35.32 (Sd=7.2), mostly mothers N=118 (86,76%). Differences were found in regard to the number of hospitalizations and the type of admission (planned/emergency). Statistically significant differences were also observed in the level of satisfaction with the provided health care. Conclusion: The results of the study confirm the first hypothesis emphasizing the satisfaction of parents of hospitalized children with the quality of care provided in both wards, and reject the second hypothesis which implies that there is no difference in perception of parental satisfaction regarding the ward in which the child has been hospitalized.
