Abstract

This study aims to present an integrative review of national and international scientific papers on nursing team, family, and hospitalized child interaction. Searches have been made to Bireme, Lilacs, Medline, IBECS, Psyc Info, Science Direct and Web of Science (2008-2013) databases, which allowed us to identify 31 papers represented by the following themes: Interpersonal relationship, Communication and Care. The establishment of interpersonal relationships in a technical and formal way causes difficulty in communication and in the actions aimed at providing care. Care has been the main theme in these researches. Companions demand increased attention to child and family needs from health professionals, and greater involvement of everyone in the process of care. Results suggest that health care teams need to recognize the dynamic experienced by the dyad (child/companion) in order to develop comprehensive care, encouraging family and child inclusion through humanization strategies.

Summary

Introduction

The moment of hospital admission is experienced with anxiety by children, companions and health care team, since they share the experience and value the interactions developed[1]. Stressful situations for the child and her family associate the illness with hospitalization and with the treatment performed by the health care team[2,3]. These situations cause emotional repercussions on everyone involved. It is necessary for the triad (child, family, health care team) to develop integrated actions. Pediatric Psychology emphasizes attention toward the hospitalized child and her family, in order to protect of healthy development conditions. The family is the care facilitation agent in relation to the child[8]
