Abstract
Objective: Family satisfaction has become an integral part of quality of care in hospitals. Thus, it is crucial to develop instruments that measure family satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of a family satisfaction questionnaire. Method: This study used a survey questionnaire consisting of 26 items that identified nurses’ constructs of behaviors and communication. The population surveyed were families whose children were hospitalized due to pneumonia. Results: The results revealed that only 16 items of the instrument demonstrated evidence of acceptable constructs of reliability and validity. The study recommends further studies that add other potential constructs related to family satisfaction.
