METHOD: Inclusion criterion: length of hospital stay of no longer than one and a half year at a non-school hospital. Individuals under 18 years of age and unable to collaborate were excluded. Participants responded to a questionnaire, applied by medical students of UFG, with information regarding hospitalization, privacy, comparison with other hospitals and evaluation of students’ presence. Descriptive statistical analysis, Wilcoxon’s Test, c 2 and Descartes’ Rule of Sign were used. RESULTS: 96 patients were evaluated. The average grade for the HC-UFG was 9,01±1,5 while that of other hospitals was 5,67±3,38. Most participants (58,33%) reported a change regarding knowledge of their disease after hospitalization at the HC-UFG. The presence of students was deemed good or very good by 91,58% and yielded positive feelings in 84,54% of the inter- viewees. Bedside-held classes were considered pleasant by 69,79% of the participants. CONCLUSION: The student has a relevant role in caregiving at the School Hospital. It further con- tributes to more reliability on the service, gives rise to the more security and happiness among patients, makes the environment cozier and acts as knowledge disseminator.
