Abstract:

In order to investigate which clown ideology circulates in the hospital scenario, this paper rescues the ancestry of the figure of the hospital clown, evaluates his professional training, and discusses his role in contemporary times. Through a descriptive, historical-documentary, and qualitative study, the present research was carried outsearches in academic databases such as PubMed and Lilacs, in April 2021. The insufficiency of the results motivated the consultation of book collections, as well as a documentary rescue of clown groups. With the function of carrying lightness, humor, and comicalness, it was possible to observe that the hospital clown, despite not having the function of curing, complements the treatment of patients and, therefore, needs training in the fields of art and biosafety. Based on the bibliographic research, however, it was concluded that there is a great need for training and continued education of hospital clowns who act in the Brazilian context.
