The quality of care associated with medical procedures, such as procedural sedation, has historically been assessed from the perspective of the healthcare professional, wherein the appropriateness of the services provided and the skill with which this care was performed were considered. However, more recently, the perspectives of consumers of healthcare services (i.e. the patients) have also been sought in the form of patient satisfaction. A review of the literature shows that patient satisfaction is routinely assessed when determining the effectiveness of sedation; however, it is less frequently assessed as the primary outcome. In child-specific, validated studies, limitations are noted with respect to being validated in a language other than English and failing to encompass a variety of procedures. As a result, these validated tools are not appropriate for use with pediatric populations undergoing procedural sedation in North America, nor are these validated tools amenable to comparison with our proposed tool.
Due to the central unit procedural sedation team servicing several areas of specialty, a varied patient satisfaction tool is required to ensure all concerns pertaining to sedation in each specialty are addressed, as well as allowing consistency between specialties to be examined. Therefore, the objective is to develop and validate a procedural sedation satisfaction tool for use with a variety of specialties requiring pediatric procedural sedation.

An initial set of questionnaire items will be created based on the questionnaires noted in the literature review as well as the semi-structured interviews conducted with parents and healthcare team members in our facility.
Parents and healthcare team members will be asked to comment on the quality of the draft questionnaire created in phase 1 of this study.
Parents will be asked to complete the questionnaire developed during phase 2 of this study. Upon completing the questionnaire, parents will be asked to rate the overall face validity of the tool using a 5-point Likert scale. Healthcare team members will be asked to rate the content validity of each item on the questionnaire.
Parents will be asked to complete the questionnaire developed during phase 3 of this study.
Parental Satisfaction with Procedural Sedation
determined via development/validation of a parental satisfaction tool
