Hospital structure elements demarcating (in)visibilities of institutional violence against children

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the hospital structure elements that demarcate (in)visibilities of institutional violence in hospitalized children. Methods: this is a descriptive-exploratory qualitative study that used approaches with Foucault’s thinking. Ten companions and 39 healthcare professionals from a university hospital in Salvador, Bahia participated. Data collection took place from November 2018 to June 2019 through semi-structured interviews. The discourse analysis method was used. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board. Results: institutional violence was understood in the violations and invisibilities of the structure of health services through the problems: in infrastructure (physical structure, lack of human and material resources, scrapping of equipment); administrative and management; pilgrimage. Final Considerations: it is necessary to realize the invisibilities of the infrastructure to act in confronting institutional violence to hospitalized children.
