Summary: This paper aimed to gain insight into and to compare various strategies deployed by parents and owners for coping with both cancer diagnosis and corresponding treatment for both children and dogs. Cross-sectional study of the data collected from parents of children with cancer on chemotherapy at the In-Patient Unit of the Pediatric Oncology Service at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre and owners of dogs with cancer on chemotherapy at the Oncology Unit of Veterinary Clinics Hospital at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. A semistructured interview was conducted with the 44 subjects on the impact of the diagnosis and treatment. They answered a questionnaire adapted from the Coping Strategies Inventory by Folkman and Lazarus. Data were analyzed using mixed methods, that is, statistical analysis and the content analysis proposed by Bardin. The Inventory scales were analyzed to compare parents and owners. Three of the eight scales showed statistically significant differences: responsibility acceptance (P=0.002), escape-avoidance (P=0.001) and positive reappraisal (P=0.005). The main differences were found in the scales related to emotion, because parents showed both guilt and need to find a way to turn that situation into something positive. The main goal of both parents and owners was patient care and treatment. They set a course of action and pursued it, in spite of the suffering brought by the situation. The ability to reassess the situation positively was observed in both groups, as their discourse after coping with was that of who has learned to appreciate life more.

Foi realizado um estudo transversal com dados coletados de pais de crianças com câncer em quimioterapia na Unidade de Pacientes Internos do Serviço de Oncologia Pediátrica no Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre e tutores de cães com câncer em quimioterapia na Unidade de Oncologia do Hospital de Clínicas Veterinárias na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Os 44 participantes realizaram entrevistas semiestruturadas abordando o impacto deste diagnóstico e tratamento, e responderam ao questionário adaptado do Inventário de Estratégias de Coping de Folkman e Lazarus. Os dados foram analisados por meio de métodos mistos, ou seja, com análise estatística e emprego da técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin. A análise dos fatores do Inventário comparou pais e tutores. Dos oito fatores avaliados, três tiveram diferença estatisticamente significativa: aceitação de responsabilidade (P=0,002), fuga e esquiva (P=0,001) e reavaliação positiva (P=0,005). As principais diferenças observadas foram nos fatores relacionados à emoção, pois os pais demonstraram maior sentimento de culpa, desejo de que a doença desaparecesse e necessidade de encontrar uma maneira de transformar a situação em algo positivo. Pais e tutores tiveram como objetivo cuidar e tratar os pacientes, sendo que traçaram um plano de ação e o seguiram, apesar do sofrimento causado pela situação. A capacidade de reavaliar a situação de forma positiva foi vista nos dois grupos, pois, após o enfrentamento da situação, as falas eram de quem aprendeu a dar maior valor ao viver.Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2021-04-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpeer reviewedAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/116510.29374/2527-2179.bjvm002220 1Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 43 No. 1 (2021); e002220Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 43 n. 1 (2021); e0022202527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVenghttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/1165/1075https://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/1165/1212Copyright (c) 2021 Luciane Cristina Vieira, Emerson Antonio Contesini, José Roberto Goldimhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVieira, Luciane Cristina Contesini, Emerson Antonio Goldim, José Roberto 2022-06-26T22:12:22Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/1165Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2022-06-26T22:12:22Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false
