- Abstract
Objective: To know the perception of nursing professionals about the use of therapeutic plays in children's hospitalization. Methods: This is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach carried out with 18 nursing professionals who work in a pediatric unit of a teaching hospital in southern Brazil. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, based on a predefined script that combines open and closed questions, whose analysis was thematic. Results: Two categories were elaborated: Knowledge about therapeutic play; Use of distraction strategies or therapeutic play in child care. Most participants showed to have a simplified understanding about the therapeutic play, ignoring its applicability and functions, associating it with recreation and attributing its practice to occupational therapy professionals, not using it in their daily work. However, they use distraction techniques to provide greater comfort to the child during a hospitalization. Conclusion: It is believed that the development of standard operating produces regarding the use of therapeutic plays in the care of hospitalized children can contribute to minimizing the negative effects of children's hospitalization.
