Resumo: | Illness beliefs refers to mental schemes that people construct from their direct or indirect experience. Such beliefs are related to their health behaviour and self-regulation. In childhood cancer survivors, their beliefs help us to understand their behaviour in the follow-up treatment. The purpose was to examine the beliefs about childhood cancer in 27 young adults’ survivors and 49 mothers, who answered sociodemographic and illness perception questionnaires in an online website. Results showed that mothers perceived childhood cancer as chronic disease with cyclical symptoms, with consequences and emotional representations more negative than survivals. Also, mothers reported understanding about the disease and believing in personal and treatment control at a higher level than survivors. It is concluded that the fact that survivors perceived childhood cancer in a more positive way indicate a new significance and a positive adaptive to experience. |

Las creencias sobre la enfermedad se refieren a esquemas mentales que las personas construyen a partir de su experiencia directa o indirecta y que se relacionan con su conducta en salud y autorregulación. En sobrevivientes de cáncer en la niñez, sus creencias ayudan a comprender sus conductas en el periodo post-tratamiento. El objetivo fue examinar las creencias sobre el cáncer en la niñez en 27 sobrevivientes adultos jóvenes y 49 madres que contestaron a cuestionarios sociodemográfico y de percepción de la enfermedad en un sitio web. Los resultados mostraron que las madres percibieron el cáncer en la niñez como una enfermedad crónica, con síntomas cíclicos, con consecuencias y representación emocional más negativa que los sobrevivientes. Además, las madres refirieron comprender la enfermedad y creer en el control personal y del tratamiento a un nivel más alto que los sobrevivientes. Se concluye que el hecho de que los sobrevivientes perciban el cáncer en la niñez de manera más positiva pueda indicar una nueva significación de la experiencia de manera positiva.As crenças sobre a doença referem-se a esquemas mentais que as pessoas constroem a partir de sua experiência direta ou indireta e que se relacionam com o seu comportamento em saúde e autorregulação. Em sobreviventes de câncer infantil, suas crenças ajudam a compreender seus comportamentos no período pós-tratamento. Objetivou-se examinar as crenças sobre o câncer infantil em 27 sobreviventes e 49 mães que responderam a questionários sociodemográficos e de percepção da doença numa plataforma online. Os resultados apontaram que a as mães perceberam o câncer infantil como uma doença crônica, com sintomas cíclicos, com consequências e representação emocional mais negativas que os sobreviventes. Ainda, as mães referiram compreender sobre a doença e acreditar no controle pessoal e do tratamento num nível mais elevado que os sobreviventes. Conclui-se que o fato dos sobreviventes perceberem o câncer infantil de maneira mais positiva possa indicar uma ressignificação da experiência de forma adaptativa.Editora Mackenzie2018-07-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://editorarevistas.mackenzie.br/index.php/ptp/article/view/1073510.5935/1980-6906/psicologia.v20n2p309-324The Journal Of Psychology: Theory and Practice ; Vol. 20 No. 2 (2018); 293-324Revista Psicología: Teoría y Práctica; Vol. 20 Núm. 2 (2018); 293-324Revista Psicologia: Teoria e Prática; v. 20 n. 2 (2018); 293-3241980-69061516-3687reponame:Psicologia (Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie.
