RESUMO

The objective of this study was understand the experience of parents of living with a hospitalized adolescent since this was an identified problem in my everyday practice. Fifteen parents of adolescents hospitalized at the University Hosptital were interviewed from August to October of 2002. The phenomenological approach of Martin Heidegger was used to analyse the data. Four themes werw identified: the immpact of the illness on the familiy, the feelings of family members, the adaptation in the hospital world and the religion and faith in the process of coping with hospitalization. The results showed the inportance of thinking the adolescent and his/her family as a being-in-the-world and being-in-the-world-with-others.
