Objective: to describe companions’ perceptions of the impact of storytelling during children’s hospitalization. Methods: this is a qualitative study, supported by Symbolic Interactionism, developed in the pediatric inpatient unit of a university hospital. Between June and July 2023, nine women, companions of hospitalized children, who participated in the weekly storytelling activity, were interviewed. Data analysis was directed by thematic content analysis. Results: storytelling was meant as a counterpoint to the boring daily life and immersed in concerns that characterize children’s hospitalization. Two thematic categories emerged from mothers’ perception of storytelling in the context of children’s hospitalization, “Strengthening relationships between children, companions and storytellers”, which contributed to strengthening the bond between companion, child and multidisciplinary team, and “Moment of welcoming for children and companions”, which reveals the effect of providing a moment of distraction, joy and comfort for mothers. Conclusion: storytelling promotes an environment conducive to coping with the disease, providing well-being, joy and comfort for accompanying mothers. It positively impacts the behavior of children and companions during hospitalization and encourages their continuity in home environments.
