Abstract
A questionnaire survey was conducted in National Children's Hospital to study the needs of children and their visitors and to measure their satisfaction for developing design guidelines for children's hospital wards. The number of sickbeds in a bedroom, bedroom area, bedroom location as well as playroom design were assessed in terms of their respective needs. A multivariate technique was then applied to explain their satisfaction. Children's satisfaction was largely determined by architectural factors : sickbed's distance from the nurse station, playroom type, playroom area, the number of playrooms, connection to a corridor system, sickbed's distance from a playroom, playroom's distance from the nurse station, and the number of sickbeds in a bedroom, most of which also explain the number of play activities.
