Objective: verify how the parents and/or legal caregivers of hospitalized children perceive playing as a dimension of Nursing care.
Method: qualitative, descriptive, exploratory and prospective study, using theme/category-based analysis. A semistructured interview was held at
a Children’s Hospital of reference in the State of Amazonas in January 2016. The participants were 22 parents between 18 and 50 years of age.
The thematic categories “Meaning of play and playing”, “Importance of the toy during playing practice for hospitalized children” and “Care while
playing” emerged from the analysis. Results: the parents acknowledged the importance of playing during the care process in pediatric contexts, but
did not envisage the activity as part of the professionals’ care plan, so that the child’s singularity can be fully respected in that sense. Conclusion: the
professionals need qualification and awareness raising to use play in their care practice.
