- Abstract
Objective: The study's purpose has been to identify the use of therapeutic toys by nursing undergraduate students when taking care of hospitalized children, and also to discuss the consequences of its use in the nursing academic trajectory. Methods: It is a qualitative research, which was carried out at a Federal Nursing School from the State of Rio de Janeiro, having 17 participating students. Data were collected over the period from October to November 2016, through semi-structured interviews, and they were assessed by the thematic content analysis technique. Results: The therapeutic play is introduced to the student during theoretical classes; unfortunately, they do not have the opportunity to apply it in practice. Its practical use would make it safer providing care to children, added to the quality of the care provided and the benefits for those children. Conclusion: The therapeutic play teaching should happen in the practical field, not only in the theoretical one, thereby contributing to a better training of nursing undergraduate students and improvement of the pediatric care quality.
