Abstract:

The present article analyses papers published between 2003 and 2011 discussing chronic conditions or chronic diseases in children and teenagers. Its method conjugates literature review and thematic analysis - content analysis aiming the systematization of principles of care oriented towards these individuals and the specificities of chronic disease in children and teenagers. Reviews resulted in a description of the group of articles, identifying year of publishing, country of origin, type of study, population and the chronic condition addressed. Thematic analysis generated two themes: Definition of chronic disease and Ways of handling chronic disease in children and teenagers. The conclusion that arises is that when disease is diagnosed and treated since childhood, transitions of age include transformations including changes in health facilities, discharge processes, decision making and networking between family, hospital, school and rights guaranteeing institutions.
