| Abstract: | Achieving a good-quality death for children with cancer is as paramount as saving their life, given its implications for both the children's end-of-life quality and the grief journey of their parents. This study explored factors contributing to a good death for children with cancer, as perceived by bereaved parents in South Korea. A retrospective survey was conducted, involving 58 bereaved parents of a child who died of cancer. t -tests and regressions were performed to identify factors related to deceased children associated with parents' reports of a good death for children with cancer. The results revealed significant correlations between parents' age, income, religious affiliation, time elapsed since death, child's age at death, and cancer recurrence with several aspects of a good death. These findings underscore the importance of assessing characteristics of both parents and their children to enhance the quality of death experienced by children with cancer in South Korea.
