“…Lack of communication can mask a problem intensely rooted in the health professionals' paternalistic attitudes, which results in the loss of users' autonomy. This situation infringes patients' dignity and well-being, in addition to clearly and explicitly constituting the asymmetric power relations present in the IV theoretical framework (25,26). Therefore, it is important to highlight the need for the Nursing team to inform children about procedures and exams to respect their autonomy, as such interventions cause them pain, leaving them sad and anxious (10).…”

“…Therefore, it is important to highlight the need for the Nursing team to inform children about procedures and exams to respect their autonomy, as such interventions cause them pain, leaving them sad and anxious (10). In this sense, it is worth reflecting on and proposing strategies so children and families become active subjects of the care process through clear communication, according to the needs and specificities of their age group, diagnosis, physical condition, and cognitive ability (25)(26)(27)(28).…”

The purpose of this study is to understand institutional violence (IV) in the relationships between health professionals, hospitalized children, and family members. This is a qualitative study developed at the pediatric inpatient unit of a university hospital in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The research participants consisted of 39 health professionals who specialized in pediatrics and 10 family members of hospitalized children. Semi‐structured interviews were the method used for data collection. Using discourse analysis as a basis and taking a Foucauldian perspective, the researchers observed that the expressions of IV could be traced to abusive power relations within the system. We found four discursive forms within the data set: communication problems as IV, violence through inattention and neglect, violence as an action and consequent materialization on the body, and psychological violence as a submission mechanism. Based on these findings, we argue that professionals, managers, the scientific community, and users might be able to better guarantee the safety of children by recognizing IV and effectively intervening in it.
