Abstract
. This research aimed to identify the stress of hospitalization in children during their treatment in the children's ward. This was quantitative research by using a descriptive design. A total of 133 children participated in this research. Stress hospitalization in children was valued by age using a questionnaire of hospitalization's response in children and observation sheets for symptoms of anxiety in children. More than half of the hospitalized babies or 67.7% always hug parents tightly, 69.2% of toddlers always run toward parents, 63% of pre-school ages always hug parents tightly; feeling bored is a common behavior for school-aged children and adolescents with a percentage of 56.4% and 47.8% respectively. Among the most visible physical symptoms in children was the face looked pale with a percentage of 66.9%. It is expected that nurses identify stress in children and can help children adapt to undergoing cars and treatments in the hospital.
