Abstract

A psychopedagogical intervention programme is used as a resource to improve children's life in hospital and to prevent the negative effects of hospitalization. One of those negative effects is the children's anxiety. The statistical analysis showed the effectiveness of this programme in order to reduce and prevent the emergence of anxiety symptoms. Therefore, its generalization and use are recommended.
