Playing in nursing care in pediatric oncology: an integrating review

Resumo: No âmbito da oncologia pediátrica, entende-se ser preciso incluir o brincar na assistência como um recurso para um cuidado de enfermagem integral e humanizado. O estudo teve como objetivo identificar, na literatura, as formas de utilização do brincar no cuidado de enfermagem em oncologia pediátrica. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura com artigos científicos publicados no período de 2012 a 2017, cujas pesquisas fossem nacionais e estivessem disponíveis na íntegra na plataforma de periódicos da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Dos 21 estudos identificados, 11 foram incluídos nesta revisão. Os principais resultados apontaram algumas formas de utilização do brincar pela equipe de enfermagem atuante em oncologia pediátrica, destacando-se a contação de estórias, a brinquedoteca e o brinquedo terapêutico. Conclui-se que o brincar deve estar presente no cuidado, sempre que possível, para propiciar uma assistência integral e humanizada a essas crianças e a diminuição de traumas e prejuízos no seu desenvolvimento.
