Abstract

Objective: To understand behaviors and experiences of children undergoing chemotherapy treatment,  through play pretending. Methods: Multiple case study, covering 5 children in a cancer pediatrics ward, for chemotherapy treatment, having as strategy the play of pretend. The tests were filmed, with subsequent transcription performed by two independent evaluators, ensuring greater reliability of the data, and separating the categories of analysis. Results: According to the defined categories, one can identify that
during play the children have good exploration and adequate choice of materials; distractors were present during the game; imitation was not a resource used by children in their actions; despite bringing domestic themes into their play, hospitalization appears as the main theme, demonstrating a great wealth of detail and knowledge about the clinical procedures experienced. Conclusion: Despite the limitations imposed by the chemotherapeutic process, the engagement of children’s in the pretend play it was useful and favored the expression of feelings about the process experienced.
