The aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of nursing undergraduate students regarding grandparents, and their inclusion in the care for the family of the hospitalized child. It is a qualitative research, in which data were collected in a School of Nursing of a Public University of São Paulo, with 32 undergraduate nursing students, through questionnaires and interviews. The data were analyzed by content analysis. The results indicate that students describe grandparents depending on the emotional aspects are derived from living with them in the past and present. Regarding their inclusion in the care of hospitalized children, the students consider the grandparents as an important source of support and safety for the child and family. Understanding the perception of students on this topic will help to develop educational activities within the perspective of child and family centered care, aiming to strengthen the assessment and care of the third generation in the context of a grandchild disease.
