Hospitalization can be a challenging and disruptive experience for children, affecting not only their physical health but also their emotional well-being and education. While the primary focus of healthcare professionals is understandably on treating the child’s medical condition, the extended absence from school and disruption to their normal routine can have significant consequences for their academic and social development. This is where hospital pedagogy comes in - an interdisciplinary approach that aims to bridge the gap between education and healthcare for hospitalized children. By providing individualized educational support and promoting a sense of normalcy and continuity, hospital pedagogy can help mitigate the negative impacts of hospitalization and promote better outcomes for children. In this article, we will explore the key components and benefits of hospital pedagogy, as well as the challenges and barriers to its effective implementation. We will argue that hospital pedagogy is a vital component of comprehensive and compassionate care for hospitalized children, and that greater investment and support is needed to ensure that all children have access to this essential service.
