Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo temático, que resultou em cinco categorias: tipos de comunicação, conteúdos comunicados, comunicação médico - paciente pediátrico - família, comunicação intrafamiliar e fontes de informação. Os tipos de comunicação citados foram a direta e a indireta. Em relação aos conteúdos comunicados, as crianças recordaram dos momentos de menor sofrimento. As crianças referiram que os profissionais conversam mais com os seus pais do que com elas. A comunicação familiar foi indicada como a principal fonte de informação sobre a doença. Desta forma, considera-se que as crianças possuem capacidade de compreender e perceber o que corre com o seu corpo; no entanto, os profissionais e a família tendem a omitir informações visando a protegê-las de maiores sofrimentos.
