• Abstract:

  The hospital environment seeks

  to restore the state of health of an individual

  facing their biological urges. However, during

  hospitalization, there is also an intensification of their social and psychic needs, due

  to factors such as changes in social and professional routine, as well as the effects

  have caused directly by the illness or its uncertainties, which culminate in stress. The

  performance of clowns in the hospital aims to contribute to the reduction of stress and

  promotion, at least from the psychic point of view, of the welfare of patients, caregivers

  and health professionals, the latter whose context and work routine can cause physical

  exhaustion and emotional. The appearance of the clown in the hospital environment

  is related to milk shake transfusions and red nose transplantation, but also, mainly,

  its capacity to innovate and challenge paradigms. Within this, the Palhaçoterapia

  extension project, developed by academics of the Medicine and Nursing courses of

  the Ponta Grossa State University (UEPG), aims, through intervention with the clowns,

  to promote a moment of joy, laughter and distraction for the during hospitalization, as

  well as providing members with the opportunity to improve their empathy, compassion

  and communicative skills. Therefore, we seek, through an active search in the scientific

  literature, to find a basis to justify the objectives proposed by the extension project.
