Hospitalization is a traumatizing and distressing experience to both parents and children, and may affect the entire process of a child’s treatment at hospital . The nursing service which aim at minimizing the effect of the hospitalization on children should involve parents during the activities of treatment performed to their children by referring to the principles of Atraumatic Care.

The research was designed as an analytical observation one, using the cross sectional approach. Results of this research showed that as many as 17 respondents (37%) belonged to the high level of satisfactory through the well implemented Atraumatic Care, while 12 respondents (26,1%) belonged to the high level of satisfactory through the adequately implemented Atraumatic Care. When analyzed using the chi square testing, the p value of 0,013 was gained with the significance rate of 0,05. This result translated as there was an existing correlation between the implementation of Atraumatic Care and the parent’s satisfactory level during the hospitalization process at the child care spaces at Balung Regional Hospital Jember.
