Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze
information appreciated by mothers/companions regarding
care of hospitalized children. The study had a qualitative
approach and was conducted in a public pediatric
institution, located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in 2012.
Eleven mothers/companions of hospitalized children
were interviewed. Data were analyzed by theme, and the
following thematic units emerged: hand washing, handling
of technological devices and modified ordinary care. The
results showed that mothers/companions appreciated
information concerning prevention and control of hospital-
acquired infections, through hand washing, handling
of technological devices used by children after hospital
discharge, and modified ordinary care, as a result of the
use of technological devices. In conclusion, mothers/
companions are concerned with information provided by
the healthcare staff in order to protect their children and
to avoid complications during hospitalization.
