When children and adolescents are hospitalized, emotional, social and cognitive developmental difficulties may occur. Achieving an understanding on how the coping process occurs may provide for better management. This study presents the Promotion of Coping Hospitalization Program (PROCOPE-H), including eight different resources - three games, two activities and three books. The User Satisfaction Inventory, before and after Feelings Protocol, Adapted Hospital Play Evaluation Instrument (ABHa), Coping of Hospitalization, Ailment and Treatment Scale (COPHAT-CA), specially designed for this study, and Coping of Hospitalization Scale (COPE-H) were administered to select resources and evaluate PROCOPE-H. Parents/Caregivers responded a sociodemographic protocol, the COPHAT-P (parents/caregivers version) and the COPE-H-Caregivers. Seven children/adolescents hospitalized (4 girls; 6 to 14 years old) took part in PROCOPE-H to verify its feasibility. Participants presented high averages in Confidence in going back to school (M = 4.5), Knowing how to express and control feelings (M = 4.25), Confidence to coping with procedures (M = 4.25), Confidence in coping with hospitalization (M = 4.0) and Learning (M = 4.0); all reported Confidence in coping with the effects of treatment. PROCOPE-H was well evaluated and therefore may be considered a promising psychological intervention for hospitalization.
