DRUMMOND, Ivana et al. A inserção do lúdico no tratamento da SIDA pediátrica. []. , 27, 1, pp.33-43. ISSN 0870-8231.

This work describes the meanings and/or signification attributed by users and the professional team of a toy library, which attends HIV/SIDA positive children and adolescents. In order to describe the attributed meanings of this toy library by different social actors, qualitative research using participative observation, semi-structured interviews were chosen as a methodological strategy. Data of 57 individuals were analyzed by applying content analysis, using the following categories: (1) the toy library as a therapeutic space; (2) a space for welcoming; (3) a place for exchanging experiences; (4) strengthening compliance and (5) strengthening of capacity building of students involved in the project. According to the interviewees, the participants were able to elaborate upon their life experience at the toy library, and in this way contribute to the treatment and its compliance. The playing aspect in itself also brought a significant contribution to the humanization of the ambulatory. It offered the possibility for families to share and exchange their experiences and reflect about the condition of seropositivity. It is also important to point out that the possibility of the seropositive adolescents to be monitors characterized the toy library as place for (re)signification of their treatment and improvement of self-confidence.
