The aim of this study was to reflect on the ways of doing, feeling and conducting story-telling actions in a pediatric ward. These practices resulted from university extension activities within the scope of occupational therapy. This reflection was done by reviewing the literature and discussing field notes on the project, and was based on a theoretical framework grounded in care technologies and in play within the context of hospital interventions, from the perspective of comprehensive and humanized care. Storytelling is presented as a means of promoting listening, reception, different affectations and bonding processes, thereby making it possible to set up a support network among the players present in the ward. It thus reaffirms professional healthcare practices in the hospital through continual construction among the subjects by using individualized technological tools that promote meetings and happenings.
