Background: It is difficult to perceive the preparation of a good death for children because of its social and cultural issues. Among the children with serious diseases, they can be alienated and the whole processes are done by the decision of the parent's proxy even when they have to prepare for death. The purpose of this study was to examine the perception of "Good Death" in advance among parents of pediatric patients with hematology-oncology diseases.
