Abstract
Objective: To report the experience of nursing students in the use of the Therapeutic Toy as an education strategy for parents and/or guardians and their hospitalized children during the care of pediatrics patients with venous accesses. Experience report: This is a descriptive study, based in a experience report, carried out from the experience of nursing students from the sixth semester of a public higher education institution, during pediatric care using the Therapeutic Toy, in the practice of the Pediatric Nursing Curriculum activity, in September 2019, in a pediatric ward of a reference hospital in the capital city of the state of Pará, Brazil. The elaboration of the action plan, making of folders and puppets synchronously met the demand of the theme, through the health education activity using the Therapeutic Toy. Final considerations: The benefits of using therapeutic toys as a resource for educating in pediatrics are notorious. The tool favored the understanding of the importance of the procedure and contributes to clarifying the care of pediatric patients with venous accesses, which makes hospitalization less traumatic, and also contemplates the rights of hospitalized children. Adherence to this positive intervention remains a challenge in the pediatric hospitalization process.
