School reintegration from the perspective of children and adolescents with chronic illnesses

Keywords: Qualitative Research, Chronic Disease, Return to School, Child, Adolescent

Abstract

Objective: Analyze the experience of children and adolescents with chronic illnesses in the school reintegration process. Method: Qualitative study with a descriptive-explorative design, conducted in a pediatric ward of a public hospital in the interior of São Paulo, with 15 children and adolescents with chronic diseases, who interrupted their school attendance due to demands associated with the treatment of the disease. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and data was subjected to inductive thematic analysis procedures. The study followed all ethical precepts (opinion no. 2,911,290).Results: Based on the analyses, four themes were constructed: (1) “Social, academic and emotional impact of hospitalization”; (2) “Hospital routine: strategies to recover academic performance”; (3) “Challenges and joys resulting from returning to school”; and (4) “Support networks for children and adolescents with chronic illnesses in the school reintegration process”.Conclusion: Children and adolescents with chronic illnesses who experience school reintegration need support in this process, especially to maintain the connection with school during the absence and in the reintegration phase. The results of this research can assist health professionals in planning care, considering the academic needs of this population.
