Aim: to raise awareness about the perception that people accompanying children have on storytelling during hospitalization. Method: qualitative research with eight people accompanying children in the pediatric unit. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: two categories emerged: Story time: fun in the hospital and A journey to the world of fantasy: no room for pain. Final Considerations: telling stories in the hospital setting is a strategy that should be used for the child's recovery, control of pain and reduction of stress and trauma resulting from hospitalization for both the child and accompanying personsDownloads
