ResumoThe study aims at synthesizing existing knowledge about play as a tool in nursing care for hospitalized children.It is an integrative review carried out at Scopus, PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Cochrane and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS) databases.Among the thirteen reviewed studies, 46% used randomised clinical trial; doll therapy was most commonly used (46%), followed by toys (30%).As for the benefits of play for children, we observed improvement in negative symptoms such as pain, nausea, anxiety and depression, as well as in the relationship between the nursing staff and the child.Results showed that scientific production on the theme is incipient.The researchers stress that health benefits are closely related to the type of activity carried out; however, it is necessary to emphasize that nurses should be aware of the benefits of this type of therapy to better organize their working process.
