This study aims to investigate nurses’ experience in caring for terminally ill children. This is a qualitative research, based on the Humanistic Nursing Theory, carried out between April and June 2010. We conducted interviews, recorded, with 10 clinical nurses from a public hospital specialized in oncology, in Joao Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil. Data were qualitatively analyzed, by means of the content analysis technique, in the light of the Humanistic Nursing Theory. Two categories emerged: “nurses’ experience in caring for a child with cancer in the terminal phase” and “coping strategies employed by nurses in caring for a child with cancer in the terminal phase”. It was understood that nurses, when caring for a child with cancer in the terminal phase, deal with much suffering, but they seek a humanistic care, integrated to each child, expressing her/his feelings by establishing confidence, respect, and dialogue, and they are sensitive to human suffering, something which leads this experience to be enriching for them within their own life context. Thus, it is expected that this research can provide means for further approaches to the theme, since studies addressing the inter-relation between care and the Humanistic Nursing Theory are still incipient, focusing on the terminally ill child.
