“…Currently, there are only a few studies on the use of communication technologies by AYAs with cancer. Despite their contributions in showing that AYAs with cancer use the internet and social media to share illness narratives, relate to others, maintain normalcy, and seek health information (Dominguez & Sapiña, 2017;Maor & Mitchem, 2018;Peat et al, 2018), with a few exceptions (Borghi et al, 2018;Liu et al, 2015;Maor & Mitchem, 2018) many of these studies discuss the use of online patient communities or illness-specific blogs rather than engagement with healthy peers on AYAs' typical social media platforms (e.g., Instagram, Snapchat). The literature regarding the use of online patient communities indicate a positive role of social media for AYAs coping and adjustment (Myrick et al, 2016;Perales et al, 2016), but these resources are frequently introduced after diagnosis and designed specifically to provide illness-specific support (Keim-Malpass et al, 2016;Perales et al, 2016).…”

“…Facebook is the most widely used social networking site, with a reported 2.5 billion users [ 36 ]. A 2018 study found that 11 of 11 hospitalized adolescents used Facebook for entertainment and maintaining peer relationships while admitted for various reasons such as asthmatic attacks, dengue fever, and surgery [ 37 ]. When searching for potential adolescent peer support groups on Facebook, groups can be identified for teens with fibromyalgia [ 38 , 39 ], complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) [ 40 , 41 ], Ehler–Danlos syndrome (EDS) [ 42 , 43 , 44 ], and sickle cell anemia [ 45 ], to name a few examples.…”

A própria OMS já reconhece a internet como uma ferramenta para o cuidado (OMS, 2011(OMS, , 2016a.…”

“…As redes sociais virtuais são uma poderosa ferramenta para promover o cuidado a esses adolescentes, porque elas propiciam aos usuários que se comuniquem com seus amigos, familiares além de ser um espaço onde eles possam dividir suas experiências e aprender com os outros (Farmer et al, 2009;Stanton, 2010;Borghi et al, 2018). (Golish, Caughlin, 2002;Bevan, 2009;Lehart et al, 2015).…”
