Psychopedagogy: An educational vision in hospital spaces

This study analyses what psycho-pedagogy is, its importance in the hospital environment, and what it means for the child, since they are isolated in a strange place with unfamiliar people. This makes it impossible for them to attend school for a certain period of time, and their routine is geared towards exams, medication and diagnoses, which cause feelings of revolt and fear in the child. To try to alleviate this suffering caused by hospitalisation, Hospital Pedagogy comes into play, which in turn provides the patient/student with educational pedagogical care based on activities continued by their school of origin. These activities are carried out under the guidance of professionals trained in the field of education, offering physical well-being and intellectual performance to the sick student, so that they feel more confident in their return to society and hopeful in their fight for life, conquering the non-transferable right of hospitalised children and adolescents to education.
