The collected data were categorized in the NVIVO12 software and submitted for content analysis. Results: The results are presented in four categories: The professionals’ lack of knowledge about institutional violence against hospitalized children; Recognition of institutional violence related to problems in the hospital infrastructure, Recognition of institutional violence in interpersonal relationships and Recognition of institutional violence in the care practices.
