- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the potential of virtual communities of relatives of children with cancer as a communication space from the nurse's perspective. Method: qualitative research developed with the Creative Sensitive Method and a virtual field Journal. Three to four people participated in each group, totaling nine nurses specializing in pediatrics and oncology. The data were treated with thematic analysis. Results: in the resignification, virtual communities are recognized as powerful spaces for dialog with relatives of children with cancer, sharing experiences through interpersonal relationships of trust and bond creation. These communities are more frequented by women than men, who seek information, acceptance, support, and motivation to face the child's illness. Conclusion: virtual communities represent new areas of health education where nurse(s) educator(s) can advocate for the best interest of children by providing the family with qualified and ethically responsible information.
