A família no cuidado da criança hospitalizada na enfermaria de pediatria do hc ufu: um relato de experiência.

Abstract

This work is the result of the author's experiences in the Multiprofessional Residency Program in Child Health Care at UFU's Hospital de Clínicas, whose field of study is the Pediatrics Ward. This is an experience report that aims to discuss the dynamics of families in the context of children's hospitalization. In addition, it seeks to discuss the repercussions caused by hospitalization in the lives of children and the changes that permeate the family sphere; address the demands brought by families during the process of hospitalization of their children in the pediatric ward of the HC UFU; and problematize the woman/mother as a central figure in care and the repercussions during child hospitalization. Qualitative research was used, with the support of bibliographic and documentary research, which made it possible to deepen the theoretical-critical approach to the subject. In view of the above, it was found that the hospitalization of a child brings numerous challenges for the family, such as social, emotional, psychological and financial impact. It also highlights the gender gap, in which women are the most affected.
