Hospital pedagogy: the importance of knowledge

Abstract

Objective: To present a teaching method that is not widely disseminated and not at all evidenced in communication channels and field research, highlighting the fundamental role played by the Hospital Pedagogue figure, who needs to be able to deal with their hospitalized students. The mobilizing question of this article asks: Are parents and students hospitalized for long periods of time aware of Hospital Pedagogy and their rights? Bibliographic review: Given the evidence in the literature, few authors were found to discuss the topic, as Hospital Pedagogy is still little known in communities, but is of great need for thousands of families who have their children hospitalized for long periods of time, as is the case of children and adolescents with cancer, even though it is guaranteed and based on national law. Final considerations: Given the results found, the analysis allowed us to conclude that there is not much knowledge of the subject among users and little study by academics, in short, a subject that should be explored and disseminated as an informative vehicle for the rights of children and adolescents, in the hospital classroom process.
