- Abstract
To describe how social support networks help the family in coping with childhood cancer. A qualitative study, based on the Social conceptual framework, with family members of children and adolescents with cancer, treated at a pediatric oncology outpatient clinic of a public hospital in a municipality in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. A semi-structured, audiorecorded interview with enhanced Content Analysis was conducted. The social support networks that help the family are characterized by the bonds created from the child's illness experience, evidenced by the interpersonal relationships between family members, the health team and other families living in similar situations; by spirituality and the information received. When identifying the importance of networks for families, it is highlighted the importance of strengthening care practices in which the family is the protagonist of care.
