SUMMARY:

This research addresses a significant gap by focusing on the right of hospitalized children to have access to play spaces in pediatric hospitals. Its general objective was to understand the perceptions of family members and healthcare professionals regarding the possible benefits and impacts of a hospital playroom in the treatment of children with cancer. The methodological approach included observation and semi-structured interviews with the involved family members and professionals. The analysis of the narratives and texts was conducted using the Content Analysis technique, inspired by Bardin. The results revealed that the hospital playroom plays an essential role in the holistic development of children undergoing cancer treatment, promoting moments of socialization, distraction, and the strengthening of emotional bonds. The research concludes that the playroom is not merely a recreational space, but a therapeutic tool that is indispensable for the comprehensive care of hospitalized children. Its implementation and continuous improvement in healthcare units are fundamental. Moreover, its presence in the hospital environment represents a key mechanism for ensuring the right to play, as guaranteed by the Statute of the Child and Adolescent, contributing to the promotion of healthy development and the humanization of pediatric healthcare services.
