Material and Method: This research was a descriptive, relationship-seeking, and cross-sectional study. The study had with 335 pediatric nurses. Research data were obtained using a Nurses’ Information Form, Job Satisfaction Scale for Clinical Nurses Scale (JSS-CN), Medical Error Tendency Scale in Nursing Scale (METS), and Missed Care in Pediatric Nursing and Its Causes-Pediatric Version Questionnaire. Results: The participants’ mean total scores were 123.06±22.00 for job satisfaction and 22.39±4.14 for medical error tendency. Considering the last shift of the nurses, the most frequent area of missed care was ambulation of the child as per the nursing plan and the least frequent area was washing hands, with the missed care activities being associated with material resources and communication factors (p<.001).
