Introduction: The pediatric ward is a field of occupational therapy, which helps patients and their companions develop strategies to cope with illness and hospitalization. Objective: To identify, in the scientific literature, the practices of occupational therapists in pediatric wards in assisting children, adolescents and accompanying family members. Method: This is an Integrative Literature Review, carried out in the databases: Virtual Health Library, MEDLINE and PubMed; and manual search in Brazilian journals: Cadernos Brasileiros de Terapia Ocupacional, Revista Interinstitucional Brasileira de Terapia Ocupacional and Revista de Terapia Ocupacional da Universidade de São Paulo. The articles were exported to the Rayyan® tool and selected by two authors independently. Data processing was carried out through Content Analysis, in thematic mode, using the ATLAS.ti® software. Results: 23 articles were included and the analysis resulted in four categories: “Intervention”; “Intervention resources”; “Overview of occupational therapy services”; and “Humanization in family monitoring care”. Conclusion: The study presents a perspective of occupational therapy in the pediatric ward, based on selected literature, offering elements that can help professionals guide their interventions and guide new studies on the topic.
