Objective To systematically review the research on pediatric treatment satisfaction of medication (TS-M). Methods The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CBM, WanFang Data, VIP, CNKI databases and medical scale websites were electronically searched to collect studies on pediatric TS-M from inception to November 2022. Two reviewers independently screened literature, and extracted data. Using descriptive analysis, we comprehensively reviewed the TS-M assessment tool selected for the studies of children. We evaluated the methodological quality and measurement properties of existing TS-M scales for children using the Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) assessment criteria. Results A total of 157 studies were included, including 150 pediatric studies using TS-M evaluation tools and 7 studies on the development and validation of TS-M scales for children, covering 7 specific TS-M scales for children. Our review revealed that 67.3% of the pediatric studies used unvalidated self-administered TS-M questionnaires or interviews, 24.7% used adult TS-M scales, and only 6.0% used two pediatric-specific TS-M scales. The results of the quality assessment indicated that the development quality of existing TS-M pediatric scales was considered "doubtful" or "inadequate", and the internal consistency was "sufficient" but the structural validity was probably "uncertain". High-quality research on the content validity, test-retest reliability and construct validity of the pediatric TS-M scale was still lacking. Conclusion Currently, the use of TS-M evaluation tools in pediatric studies has irrationalities: over 90% of pediatric studies use self-made questionnaires or adult scales to evaluate children's TS-M; and the existing pediatric TS-M scales globally have narrow applications, questionable development quality, and lack some measurement performance studies. Pediatric TS-M scales with a wide range of applications are lacking.
