| Sumario: | During cancer treatment, even with high rates of cure and survival, children need to deal with
the possibility of their own death and with the finitude of treatment friends. During childhood,
in addition to being painful, death is a difficult process to understand, since adults often find it
difficult to talk about it with the child, as a way to protect them. As a result, there may be an
increase in anxiety, loneliness, and anguish, in addition to damage to child development.
Therefore, it is hereby proposed the development and validation of a book about coping with
the death of children made friends during cancer treatment. For this purpose, seven steps were
carried out: (1) definition of the book's theme; (2) delimitation and (3) organization of the book's
content; (4) evaluation of the book's content by experts and target audience; (5) adequacy, (6)
reassessment, (7) finalization and presentation of book content. These data were presented in
four studies, which indicated that children with cancer, as well as family and professionals
experience challenges, but they also evolve during cancer treatment; these situations can be
experienced in a less painful and traumatic way if those involved receive support and playful
care. Furthermore, it was found that the content of the book drawn up from the carried-out
studies was considered 100% understandable and adequate, and predominantly clear for
children aged six to 12 years. It was concluded that the book's content can be used for
interventions in child grief in different contexts; that playful interventions represented
protective factors and that the role of the adults should be on accompanying and providing
support, as a way to help the child to understand and express their emotions and learn to deal
with the challenges inherent in the cancer context. |
