WRITING BY YOUNG PEOPLE WITH CANCER: INTEGRATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW
This integrative literature review article analyzes national and international scientific publications that addressed the writing of young people aged between 12 and 29 years old with cancer. The search covered the Virtual Health Library, Web of Science; SCOPUS (Elsevier); CINAHL and PsycINFO (APA) and after applying selection criteria, 18 studies were reached. The topics covered were categorized into two topics: “Writing and expression of emotions in the face of loss and imminence of death” and “Writing and sociality”, highlighting the writings in virtual space (blogs). We conclude that the writing brings evidence of personal, social, existential and contextual representations that mark the experience of young people with cancer and, despite the shyness of publications in the age group from 12 to 29 years old, there is potential to make visible the procedural, relational and contextualized character of expanded care, democratic, sensitive, personalized and situated.

Abstract:
This integrative literature review article analyzes national and international scientific publications that addressed the writing of young people aged between 12 and 29 years old with cancer. The search covered the Virtual Health Library, Web of Science; SCOPUS (Elsevier); CINAHL and PsycINFO (APA) and after applying selection criteria, 18 studies were reached. The topics covered were categorized into two topics: “Writing and expression of emotions in the face of loss and imminence of death” and “Writing and sociality”, highlighting the writings in virtual space (blogs). We conclude that the writing brings evidence of personal, social, existential and contextual representations that mark the experience of young people with cancer and, despite the shyness of publications in the age group from 12 to 29 years old, there is potential to make visible the procedural, relational and contextualized character of expanded care, democratic, sensitive, personalized and situated.
