Abstract: Hospitalization often causes depersonalization and suffering, as patients are frequently reduced to their illness or the bed they occupy. In this context, Hospital Psychology emerges as a fundamental field to encourage humanization by reclaiming subjectivity and dignity. The National Humanization Policy (PNH), created in 2003, established guidelines such as welcoming (acolhimento), active listening, expanded clinical practice, and the strengthening of bonds. However, its implementation still faces obstacles, including excessive workloads, the supremacy of the biomedical model, and the vulnerability of institutional structures. In this sense, exploring how literature understands and addresses this theme allows for an understanding of the challenges, strategies, and practices that promote more comprehensive and ethical care. This project aims to analyze scientific productions regarding humanized care in hospital contexts, identifying challenges, methods, and contributions to improving the experience of patients and their families. This study consists of a systematic literature review. The inclusion criteria were defined as publications between 2016 and 2024, in Portuguese, English, or Spanish, that discuss humanization practices in the hospital setting. Articles lacking consistent theoretical or empirical foundations or those that do not address hospital practice will be excluded. Data will be organized by themes, covering challenges, the role of psychological listening, and the impacts of humanization. It is expected that the analyzed literature will identify significant difficulties in hospital practices, such as rigid protocols, overwork, a lack of institutional support, and resistance related to traditional training within the biomedical model. Nevertheless, psychological listening remains an essential resource for welcoming and building bonds, especially in contexts of vulnerability, to promote care and integrality. Studies may also highlight how interdisciplinary action, the valuation of patient autonomy, and the adaptation of practices to cultural and social singularities have expanded the effectiveness of humanized care. Thus, the results reinforce that humanization in hospital contexts remains a challenge in progress, requiring more defined policies, the strengthening of multidisciplinary teams, and the continuous improvement of health professionals. Psychological listening stands out as a means of welcoming and providing holistic care, fostering more ethical and subject-focused practices. Ultimately, humanization establishes itself as a fundamental means of improving the quality of care and ensuring the effective right to health.
