Abstract:
:The presence of clowns in hospitals is relatively recent and more than 700 organizations now perform clown therapy in hospitals in Brazil and around the world. Considering the emphasis on comprehensive care and the humanization of health, it is timely to understand and analyze the national and international scientific literature on clown therapy. This practice challenges the hegemonic biomedical model and potentially helps in the recuperation of health. A review of the literature was conducted and 18 publications were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The following categories arose from the analysis: physiological, behavioral, and emotional responses; presurgical anxiety and attribution of new meanings to practices and the hospital environment. Results have shown that clown therapy leads to a significant decrease in preoperative anxiety in children, even compared with the results obtained with the use of anesthesia-inducing drugs. Most studies investigated the use of clown therapy during patients' adaptation to hospitalization, helping them to attribute new meanings to this situation. Despite its low representation in the scientific field and the fact that it has not been widely accepted as a health practice, several studies have shown the benefits of using clown therapy in the hospital setting. :A inserção do palhaço no hospital é relativamente recente e mais de 700 organizações realizam a palhaçoterapia nessas instituições no Brasil e em outras ao redor do mundo. Dada a ênfase na integralidade do cuidado e humanização da assistência à saúde, torna-se oportuno compreender e analisar a produção nacional e internacional do conhecimento científico sobre esta prática que desafia o modelo hegemônico de cuidado e potencialmente contribui na recuperação da saúde. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura utilizando análise de conteúdo temática que analisou 18 publicações. As categorias que emergiram foram: respostas fisiológicas, comportamentais e emocionais; ansiedade pré-operatória; e ressignificação das práticas e do ambiente hospitalar. A literatura analisada aponta que a palhaçoterapia provoca diminuição significativa da ansiedade pré-operatória em crianças, comparativamente maior do que a obtida com o uso de um fármaco indutor de anestesia. A maior parte dos estudos investigou o uso da palhaçoterapia na adaptação à hospitalização, auxiliando na atribuição de novos significados. Apesar da baixa representatividade do tema no campo científico e mesmo não sendo amplamente aceita como prática de saúde, os resultados encontrados sugerem benefícios na utilização da palhaçoterapia em ambiente hospitalar.
