A doença e a hospitalização apresentam-se como as primeiras crises com as quais a criança pode ser confrontada.
Ao ser hospitalizada, a criança corre o risco de ficar afectada perante as adversidades da hospitalização, nomeadamente, por ter de lidar permanentemente com um ambiente desconhecido, com os tratamentos, estabelecer relações com diferentes profissionais de saúde e ainda encontrar um sentido para a doença.
Deste modo, os conhecimentos e competências desenvolvidos pelos enfermeiros que prestam cuidados à criança são importantes para minimizar os efeitos da hospitalização.
Durante a hospitalização é necessário utilizar o brincar terapêutico, com o intuito de favorecer a adaptação ao ambiente hospitalar, às rotinas do serviço, aos procedimentos técnicos e aos diferentes técnicos é facilitada.
O brincar terapêutico assume-se assim como o instrumento da relação terapêutica enfermeiro-criança, pois é um excelente meio de expressão de sentimentos, auxiliando a comunicação e estabelecimento de uma relação de confiança, promovendo desta forma uma outra visão em relação ao hospital e à hospitalização em si.
Todo este projecto foi desenhado tendo como alicerce estes pressupostos.
O local de estágio, o projecto em si, os objectivos e as actividades traçadas e todo o percurso desenhado, tiveram como objectivo geral: aprofundar conhecimentos, enquanto enfermeira especialista, na utilização do brincar como instrumento terapêutico da relação enfermeiro-criança.
Da análise de todas as actividades realizadas posso aferir que brincar terapêutico estruturado – Hospital dos Pequeninos, contribuiu para que as crianças pudessem expressar os seus sentimentos acerca da hospitalização e/ou acerca de algum procedimento ao qual tenham sido submetidas, pudessem manipular sem medo muitos dos materiais com os quais se deparam no dia-a-dia, aperceber-se de algumas dinâmicas do serviço e cada procedimento em si e o porquê de o realizar, assim como, nos ajudou a nós (enfermeiros) a ter por parte das crianças uma maior colaboração e aceitação de alguns procedimentos, após saberem do que se trata e o terem experienciado.
Deste modo, a hospitalização transformou-se numa experiência positiva, potenciando o crescimento e desenvolvimento da criança, assim como, da relação fundamental entre o enfermeiro e a criança
Illness and hospitalization are presented as the first crisis with which the child can be confronted. To be hospitalized, the child runs the risk of being affected the adversities of hospitalization, in particular, by constantly having to deal with an unknown environment, with the treatments, to establish relationships with various health professionals and still find meaning in illness. Thus, the knowledge and skills developed by nurses who provide care for the child are important to minimize the effects of hospitalization. During hospitalization is necessary to use play therapy, in order to promote adaptation to the hospital environment, the routines of the service, the technical procedures and the different techniques is facilitated. The therapeutic play is assumed as the tool of the therapeutic nurse-child relationship, it is an excellent way of expressing feelings, communication and helping establish a relationship of trust, thus promoting a different vision for the hospital and hospitalization itself.

Thus, the hospital became a positive experience, fostering the growth and development of children, as well as the fundamental relationship between nurse and child.
