Abstract:
Focusing on the pain of a child/adolescent with cancer as a complex phenomenon, this study aims at describing the experiences of health professionals involved in caring for these patients in hospitalisations and analysing them, looking for a foundation in Edgar Morin's complexity ideas. Empirical data were collected in interviews, allowing for the visualisation of possibilities, such as a formation of fixed and integrated teams and the family's involvement in the care. Evidently, it is necessary to distinguish the professionals' multiple focuses and compose a care unit in which these focuses are articulated by means of a common project, to provide caring for the multiple dimensions of these patients' care.
