Abstract
Abstract Introduction The pediatric ward is a field of occupational therapy, which helps patients and their companions develop strategies to cope with illness and hospitalization. Objective To identify, in the scientific literature, the practices of occupational therapists in pediatric wards in assisting children, adolescents and accompanying family members. Method This is an Integrative Literature Review, carried out in the databases: Virtual Health Library, MEDLINE and PubMed; and manual search in Brazilian journals: Cadernos Brasileiros de Terapia Ocupacional, Revista Interinstitucional Brasileira de Terapia Ocupacional and Revista de Terapia Ocupacional da Universidade de São Paulo. The articles were exported to the Rayyan® tool and selected by two authors independently. Data processing was carried out through Content Analysis, in thematic mode, using the ATLAS.ti® software. Results 23 articles were included and the analysis resulted in four categories: “Intervention”; “Intervention resources”; “Overview of occupational therapy services”; and “Humanization in family monitoring care”. Conclusion The study presents a perspective of occupational therapy in the pediatric ward, based on selected literature, offering elements that can help professionals guide their interventions and guide new studies on the topic.
