“…It has been suggested that hope acts as a multidimensional and dynamic inner pull that becomes a central aspect of a human being's life. It is a future-oriented feeling that has elements of goal setting (Temple, 2018). Snyder's conceptualization of hope, known as Hope Theory, defines hope as "the perceived capability to derive pathways to desired goals, and motivate oneself via agency thinking to use those paths" (Snyder, 2002).…”

Background Hope nurtures confidence and enhances positivity. It is known to be a critical factor in illness, recovery and healing. This study aimed to identify the views of hospitalized children with cancer about the circumstances and factors that create hope for them in the oncology ward. Methods: This qualitative study explored children's experiences using Photovoice, which is an arts-based approach. Twenty children aged 6–12 years diagnosed with various cancers at a Pediatric Hospital in Tehran, Iran, participated in this study. Participants were requested to take photographs of objects, circumstances, or anything that gave them hope or represented a sign of hope in the oncology ward. The photographs were then used to facilitate face-to-face interviews with these children. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Data analysis revealed six main themes: emotional connectedness with nursing staff; the playroom as a means to soften the hospital space; the presence of a parent; symbols of recovery; a touch of nature in the hospital setting; and escaping the hospital cage. Discussion: Hopefulness among children can emanate from diverse events and circumstances within the hospital environment. Nurses and physicians need an understanding of children's perspectives to design interventions to improve hopefulness among hospitalized children with cancer.

“…The drawings and descriptions for P8, P12, and P15 appeared to focus on their futures. Temple (2018) and seminal work by Snyder et al (2002) similarly conceptualize hope as a future-oriented construct focused on goal setting. During her interview, P6 reported cancer temporarily restricted her metaphoric “ability to fly” and “do teenager things.” P12 and P15 described hope in the context of their goals and futures after completing treatment.…”

Hope's role in the care of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) who have advanced cancer (AC) is not well understood. This study aimed to conceptualize the essence of hope among AYAs who have AC based on their lived experiences and illustrate hope through verbal and artistic depictions of the AYA's lived experiences. Fifteen AYAs, aged 12 to 21 years, diagnosed with AC completed two semistructured interviews to share their lived experiences of hope perspectives in the form of a descriptive narrative and a creative-art outcome. Participants who chose to draw pictures narrated the conceptual meanings based on elements of each picture. A board-certified art therapist performed a post hoc analysis of the drawings and participants’ verbatim descriptions of their meanings. Five of the 15 AYA participants created drawings depicting their lived experiences of hope. The artistic process of mapping their cancer journey revealed distinct views of hope through nature landscapes and metaphors. Participants provided titles for their drawings such as “Over the Rainbow,” “Growth in the Valley,” and “The Light at the End of the Tunnel.” The pictures embodied the AYAs’ thoughts, perceptions, and lived experiences related to hope and its role during their cancer journey. Drawing is one simple art form that can facilitate an AYA's expression of well-being (including hope) beyond what may be verbally articulated. Creative art should be further researched as a screening tool to assess how AYAs with AC cope with an uncertain future and psychological and/or existential distress symptoms.

“…It implies the establishment of significant objectives, revealing itself as a multifaceted, multidimensional phenomenon (39) . Hope works as a way of feeling, a way of thinking, behaving and relating to oneself and the world (40) . "Hope is not waiting, it is walking, it is always taking a step forward with which everything begins again" (41) .…”

Objective: to understand the experiences of relatives of critically ill children before bad news report. Method: a phenomenological study based on Heidegger’s philosophical framework. Data collection was carried out from October 2018 to March 2019, through phenomenological interviews with 15 relatives of children hospitalized in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Results: relatives, in their existentiality, experience the facticity thrown into unpredictable situations, regardless of their choices and are faced with feelings of shock, despair and fear before bad news. After emotional impact, especially regarding the possibility of death, relatives reveal hope as a mechanism for coping with the situation. Final considerations: solidarity and sensitivity by health professionals, especially nurses, are essential in understanding the existential dimension of relatives who experience such an experience, understanding the several facets of their existence and offering them opportunities to project themselves.
