Este estudo objetivou compreender como ocorre a sensibilização do enfermeiro para o uso do brinquedo terapêutico como instrumento de intervenção de enfermagem. O referencial teórico foi o Interacionismo Simbólico e o metodológico, além do Interacionismo Interpretativo. Participaram sete enfermeiras que atuavam em unidades pediátricas hospitalares e ambulatoriais, incluindo o brinquedo terapêutico em sua prática. Emergiram quatro temas representativos: ampliando seu olhar para a pessoa da criança, encantando-se com uma nova possibilidade de cuidar, percebendo sua ação revalidada e comprometendo-se com o desenvolvimento da temática. Estes revelaram que, ao conhecer o brinquedo terapêutico e utilizá-lo na assistência, a enfermeira inicia um caminhar no qual constata os benefícios dessa intervenção, o que revalida cada vez mais sua ação, passando a valorizá-lo como instrumento de intervenção de enfermagem. Os autores consideram que ensinar sobre o brinquedo e integrá-lo à assistência são desafios que ainda necessitam ser superados.

Objective: To understand, from the family’s perspective, the meaning of admitting the child in the hospital with the use of the instructional therapeutic play. Method: A phenomenological research with 12 families of children aged four to nine years old, recently admitted to a public and teaching hospital, in the inland of the state of São Paulo, from October to December 2016. They participated in an instructional therapeutic play session focusing on the procedures performed at hospital admission: weight, height, and vital sign measurements and test collection. The families, in turn, were invited to participate in a phenomenological interview the day after the session. Results: The instructional therapeutic play collaborated in the therapeutic procedures by understanding and modifying the child’s behavior. Also stressed by the families was the need for the toy to be incorporated as nursing care. Conclusion: Given the benefits to the child, the family believes that this strategy should be performed as a routine nursing care and, therefore, performed systematically during child hospitalization.

Objective: to present and discuss actions and strategies used by professors who teach therapeutic play in the Undergraduate Courses in Nursing. Method: qualitative research, that used symbolic interactionism as its theoretical framework, and Grounded Theory as its methodological framework. The scenario was the courses involving the theoretical-practical teaching of pediatric nursing, included in the curriculums of the Undergraduate Courses in Nursing. A total of 18 lecturers and three nurses participated, all involved in the process of teaching therapeutic play in the theoretical-practical scenario. Data were collected through participant observation and semistructured interviews. Results: it was revealed that the mobilization of the professors to teach therapeutic play in the Undergraduate Courses is permeated by a constant concern with offering and promoting significant learning to the student. They seek to do this through teaching strategies that involve: dramatization of therapeutic play sessions, the recovery of infancy and of playing, the use of audiovisual resources that raise awareness of learning, realistic simulation as innovation, the extending of possibilities of using Therapeutic Play, the re-presenting of therapeutic play to the student at the start of the practical activity, the providing of material for this practice, and the inclusion of the issue in the assessment process. Conclusion: the results contribute to assisting the lecturers in the task of awakening and introducing the student to the universe of therapeutic play, promoting her learning and systematic incorporation into academic life and, in the future, as a nurse, when she shall promote the inclusion of therapeutic play in the care provided to the child - in order to preserve and protect the child’s right to receive qualified care.
