Abstract

This article aims to give visibility to the discussion of the characterization of the families of children with respiratory diseases hospitalized at the Pediatric Internment Unit of a University Hospital in the southern region of Brazil and to question the potentialities and difficulties faced by the family with regard to health care and protection of their children. It is a qualitative research, with a semi-structured interview conducted with eight families of children hospitalized at the Pediatric Unit of the HU/UFSC in 2016. The results indicate that two thematic categories are recognized: dynamics and network family support; access to health services and medicines, which directly interfere with the possibilities of care by the relatives, and may compromise the health conditions of the child with illness.
