Resumen

BICALHO, Christiane; ARAUJO, Alisson  y  BOTTI, Nadja. Process to become an adolescent related to illness and cancer treatment. Psic., Saúde & Doenças [online]. 2019, vol.20, n.1, pp.74-87. ISSN 1645-0086.  https://doi.org/10.15309/19psd200106.

The present study sought to understand the process of adolescence traversed by cancer, under the view of adolescents and young people who experienced cancer treatment between the ages of 10 and 19 years, in an oncological care unit in the interior of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and who ended treatment at least one month before the beginning of data collection. In this qualitative research, the phenomenological approach was used as a methodological reference in conducting the study, which was developed through an interview with semi-structured script. In the analysis of the data were identified the units of meaning and from these, established the thematic categories: experience of suffering, coping experience and meanings related to the adolescence process with cancer. The study demonstrated that adolescents show peculiarities of feelings, confrontations and meanings when experiencing cancer treatment, which points us to the importance of the appropriate approach of the multidisciplinary health teams to the adolescent who experiences the disease due to cancer, considering the particularities of this development phase.

Palabras clave : adolescent; neoplasms; qualitative research.
