| Resumo: | The increase in survival time and cure requires more extensive care about the quality of
life of cancer patients, which begins soon after diagnosis. Thus, it seems reasonable to
the emphasis on development of studies covering the psychosocial variables, such as
stigma, treatment of childhood cancer aiming thereby to the attention of the overall
needs of the child. Thus, this research aims to investigate the perception of stigma and
quality of life in children with cancer. This is a cross-sectional research and
understanding of the descriptive type, the type specimen being adopted for convenience.
This consisted of thirty children with cancer and thirty children without chronic disease.
The instruments used were the Quality of Life Questionnaire, the Perceived Stigma
Scale and Technical Drawing Story with a Theme. The results indicate that the chronic
condition, no interfered significantly in satisfaction with the quality of life in children
with cancer and identified that the quality of life is not related to the stigma.
Comparison with children with no chronic disease with infants with cancer, no
significant differences were observed. However, the group mean contrast was lower,
suggesting a greater impairment in quality of life of children with cancer compared to
those without chronic disease. It is worth noting that the psychosocial effects and the
limitations imposed by disease and treatment are presented as important factors in the
design mode of subjective manifestations of children with cancer. Therefore, it is
expected that knowledge elucidated by this study will assist, greatly to the promotion of
improved emotional, biological and social development itself and the involvement of
children with cancer treatment |
