“…In addition to modifying the routine, the inclusion of the hospital in their world, becoming part of their life can be perceived. This impact was also reported by other authors (6,9) . In this quotidian, the people find a direction, attribute meaning to things, communicate, suffer, are happy, and relate, always based on their biographies.…”

“…However, the collateral effects of the treatment bring the perception of a disease, which, in spite of these discomforts, can lead to therapeutic success (9) . Chemotherapy is a treatment recognized as a proposed cure for cancer, and its collateral effects are not only acutely present but have delayed repercussions involving growth and development of adolescents during puberty.…”

This study aimed at understanding the meaning of chemotherapeutic treatment for adolescents with cancer. It is a qualitative study using Alfred Schütz's social phenomenology as a framework. Seven adolescents were interviewed. Four themes emerged from the analysis of their discourses: Impact of the disease on their lives; The discomfort of treatment;Coping strategies and Projection to the future without the disease. The statements of the adolescents revealed that the experience with the chemotherapeutic treatment affects several possibilities of being-in-the-world-with-the-others. The healthcare team plays a fundamental role in the lives of these adolescents, and this relationship goes beyond the scientific level.

De la omnipotencia al desgaste: las perspectivas del adolescente en tratamiento de quimioterapiaEste estudio tuvo como objetivo comprender el significado del tratamiento quimioterápico para el adolescente acometido por cáncer. Se trata de investigación de naturaleza cualitativa, utilizando el referencial fenomenológico social de Alfred Schütz. Fueron entrevistados siete adolescentes. Del análisis de los discursos, emergieron cuatro temas: el impacto de la enfermedad en su vida; la incomodidad del tratamiento; las estrategias de enfrentamiento; y la proyección para el futuro sin la enfermedad. La declaración de los adolescentes reveló que la experiencia con el tratamiento quimioterápico afecta las varias posibilidades del ser-en-el-mundo-con-los-otros. El equipo que cuida es parte fundamental en la vida de esos adolescentes, cuya relación ultrapasa lo científico.

“…The adolescent participants in the study saw chemotherapy as something that provokes different reactions in the organism, something that certainly could be milder and cause fewer undesirable effects: Despite the displeasure with the situation, there is a positive attitude toward chemotherapy because they believe that this therapy may be the chance for the recuperation of life (4,20) . Contrasting with this idea, the adolescents point to the suffering, during the moments of greatest intensity of the collateral effects of chemotherapy, as responsible for also discouraging the continuation of treatment: Cicogna EC, Nascimento LC, Lima RAG.…”

This study aimed to comprehend chemotherapy from the perspective of children and adolescents with cancer. Ten children and adolescents between eight and 18 years of age, in different phases of chemotherapy, participated in this exploratory, qualitative study. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews and analysis of the patients' medical records. Analysis of the empirical material followed the content analysis technique.The study allowed the comprehension that, for the children and adolescents, chemotherapy is mainly remembered for its collateral effects and suffering. After the initial impact, mainly due to physical changes, preoccupations are related to disease recovery, i.e. a cure. Over time, they also mentioned that the disease was seen as something to be overcome and, due to the chemotherapy, likely to be the outcome.Descriptors: Neoplasms; Drug Therapy; Child; Adolescent; Pediatric Nursing.

O estudo permitiu compreender que, para as crianças e adolescentes, a quimioterapia é lembrada, principalmente, por seus efeitos colaterais, acompanhado de sofrimento. Passado esse primeiro impacto, sobretudo das alterações físicas, as preocupações dirigem-se à recuperação da doença, ou seja, à cura. Com o tempo, relatam que a doença foi vista como algo a ser vencido e, graças à quimioterapia, passível de tal desfecho.Descritores: Neoplasias; Quimioterapia; Criança; Adolescente; Enfermagem Pediátrica.

Purpose The study examined the different dimensions of fatigue (general, sleep/rest, cognitive), health related quality of life (physical, emotional, cognitive, social), and the relationships between fatigue and HRQL in hospitalized children and adolescents with cancer in Brazil. Method Participants were recruited from a pediatric oncology inpatient unit in a comprehensive cancer care hospital in southeast Brazil. They completed the PedsQL Multidimensional Fatigue Scale and the PedsQL Inventory of Quality of Life (Generic and Cancer module) once during hospitalization. Results The majority (66.7%) of the participants (n=38; mean age 12.1 ± 2.9 years) had total fatigue scores < 75 on 0 to 100 scale; with the mean total fatigue score of 63.8 ± 18.5. The majority (72.2% generic; 83.3% cancer modules) had total PedsQL scores < 75 on 0 to 100 scale. The mean PedsQL score on generic module (61.1 ± 17.0) was similar to the mean PedsQL score cancer module (59.1 ± 16.7). Significant correlations were found between total fatigue and quality of life generic (r=0.63, p = 0.000) and cancer module (r=0.74, p = 0.000). Conclusions The study is the first to report fatigue and health related quality of life in hospitalized children and adolescents with cancer in Brazil. Similar to experiences of other children in the world, our findings indicate that children and adolescents with cancer had problems with fatigue that were associated with low HRQL. Future studies are recommended to examine interventions (exercise, leisurely activities) that may alleviate fatigue and improve HRQL in pediatric patients with cancer.
