Hospitalization of children often represents a significant emotional and psychological challenge because the hospital environment can cause fear, uncertainty, and loss of control in the youngest patients. The „Storytellers for good night<program, launched by the association Porti from Rijeka, aims to provide children with a sense of security and normality through listening to stories. This program, successfully implemented in the Kantrida Children's Hospital, has been extended to the General Hospital (GH) Pula. The program was evaluated through the participation of 18 volunteers and 20 health workers. The results of the research showed that the program had a positive effect on the children's well being, mostly on the emotional, then on the cognitive, but also on the speed of recovery and reduction. However, both samples agree that the program has a smaller effect on the rate of recovery and the reduction of symptoms obtained. Quantitative data are supported by qualitative analyzes that highlight the advantages of the program, but also some of its disadvantages. Although differences in the evaluation of the program effectiveness between volunteers and health personnel were not obtained, the volunteers recognized a significantly greater benefit of the positive effects of the program on their own well-being. Both volunteers and health personnel show the same levels of generative activity, which can be a cause and effect of engaging in volunteer work, or the health profession.
