Abstract

This study aimed to describe the feelings of mothers in experiencing the hospitalization of their child. This
descriptive, qualitative research was undertaken in 2012 in a hospital, a center of excellence in Pediatrics, in Fortaleza-
Ceará, by means of a semi-structured interview held with mothers accompanying their children, following approval from
the Ethics Committee. Based on the analysis of the interviews, two categories were delimited: feelings created in the
mother by the falling-ill of her child and strategies for coping with the suffering. The need is evidenced for greater care and
interaction on the part of the health professionals with the mothers accompanying children, so as to promote humanized
care, involving the mother-child unit.
