- Abstract
Objective: To identify and describe the revelations expressed by children with chronic diseases in outpatient treatment. Methods: This was a qualitative study guided by the theoretical framework of symbolic interactionism and Bardin's thematic content analysis. Data was collected through therapeutic play sessions with four preschool children who live with chronic illness. Results: Four thematic categories that characterize the daily life of these children were identified: 'Interactions,' 'Fight,' 'Support' and 'Doubt.' Conclusion: The children in this study seek to transform their daily interactions with a view toward being recognized as individuals with voices, desires, wills and opinions.
