The objective of this study was to analyze information appreciated by mothers/companions regarding care of hospitalized children. The study had a qualitative approach and was conducted in a public pediatric institution, located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in 2012. Eleven mothers/companions of hospitalized children were interviewed. Data were analyzed by theme, and the following thematic units emerged: hand washing, handling of technological devices and modified ordinary care. The results showed that mothers/companions appreciated information concerning prevention and control of hospital- acquired infections, through hand washing, handling of technological devices used by children after hospital discharge, and modified ordinary care, as a result of the use of technological devices. In conclusion, mothers/ companions are concerned with information provided by the healthcare staff in order to protect their children and to avoid complications during hospitalization.
