Efetividade de recursos lúdicos no atendimento a crianças hospitalizadas

Abstract

Pediatric hospitalization represents a remarkable event for the child and his family, given the distance from their contexts and routines, and the experience in a strange and threatening environment. To mitigate the impact of this experience, there is a playful intervention in the care of hospitalized children. By considering the importance of playing for the child, even during illness, as well as the value of learning development, psychopedagogy with playful intervention, mitigates possible traumas. The general objective of this work is to investigate the effectiveness of recreational resources in the care of hospitalized children, and as specific objectives, to evaluate the engagement of children and parents with the playful resource; systematize the preferences of playful resources according to the age group and evaluate the purpose of recreational resources. The research was conducted during the services in the pediatric ward of a public hospital in the city of João Pessoa - PB. Data collection took place through participant systematic observation based on the application of recreational activities and resources. It was found that the resources that involved logical reasoning stood out in relation to the others, but that all the proposed resources brought benefits to the learners. Therefore, the resources proved to be effective according to the purpose of each one, which allowed the full development of learning in a hospital environment.
