The family is a child's first foundation, essential for proper growth and development. In different contexts, the child goes through moments of stress, such as illness and hospitalization, which can lead to emotional instability and trauma. Therefore, in this process, it’s normal for children to feel fear and other unpleasant feelings, due to the lack of maturity to assimilate their health status and for being in an unknown environment and away from their family members. It’s essential that the multidisciplinary team develop care based on the effective sharing of information, unrestricted access to the child, the effective participation of parents in decision-making and mutual respect. Objective: To understand the perception of nurses about the performance of the parents or guardians of the child hospitalized in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Methods: Descriptive study with a qualitative approach, through online interviews guided by a semi-structured script.

Conclusion: The nurses understand as positive the permanence and the performance of care by parents or guardians within the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, as it helps in clinical improvement and psychological support, in addition to bringing the family closer to the care of the child.
