“…Playing does not stop the pain, but it helps the child to release feelings of anxiety, anger, hostility, fear and despair, easing the negative feelings of hospitalization and intensifying the recovery (18)(19) . Thus, the use of recreational activities such as games, toys, storytelling and dialogue, serves as the foundation for a nurse-child relationship based on trust (20) . Regarding the evaluation of the pain of children with SCD, the lack of contact and knowledge of pain measurement instruments was noticeable, especially considering I2, who cited the Braden scale as a pain scale; the scale mentioned is used to classify injuries by pressure, not pain, showing the confusion of the participant.…”

Objective: To describe how nurses identify the pain in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) and to list the strategies used by them in the evaluation and control of pain. Method: This is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research, performed through semi-structured interviews with 13 nurses. The interviews were transcribed and after this process the qualitative data were organized according to thematic analysis. Results: This study showed that the nurses can identify pain in children with SCD from the signals they emit, such as: constant crying, restlessness, facial expressions and verbal reports. Pain is diffi cult to evaluate due to the lack of instruments, such as a pain scale. For pain control they use emotional support, promotion of comfort and the administration of drugs prescribed by the doctor. Final considerations: The nurses recognize the pain of the child and use pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods to control it but have diffi culties to assess it.

“…The toy allows children to resolve doubts about hospital procedures and their health; aims to clarify concepts and fantasies, which are part of the imaginary world of school, especially when faced with something unknown and threatening. In addition, it allows nurses to better understand the child's needs and feelings, helping to face hospitalization in a more peaceful way (20,22) . The dislike of children with professionals who did not explain the procedures to be performed, who acted in an authoritarian manner, giving orders on how to behave during the invasive procedure and that, often enough, failed to even greet them, was noticeable.…”

“…However, since its use depends on nurses, it is up to them to identify the most effective strategy for each situation to make assistance considerably easier and humanized (18,21) . Thus, the use of playful strategies, be it expressed through play, toy/therapeutic toy, or through storytelling, act as a beneficial tool for both the child and the family, favoring communication with the health professional (20)(21)(22) . The toy allows children to resolve doubts about hospital procedures and their health; aims to clarify concepts and fantasies, which are part of the imaginary world of school, especially when faced with something unknown and threatening.…”
