This study uses a comparative approach, as well as two already concluded ethnographies, to achieve its objective of identifying how families perceive their insertion into the overnight stay unit in a hospital and how they are perceived by the health care team, considering the rules and regulations of the institutional culture.

Although families, in many situations, subject themselves to the regulations imposed by the hospital and the health care team, they also use individual and collective resistances in order to confront the regulatory mechanisms.
