Among the childhood diseases, cancer is noted for its high incidence and impact\udon the lives and daily life of the child and their parents or guardians, being common for children with cancer and\udtheir caregivers to experience hospitalization. Objective: Considering the importance and impact of daily living for\udhealth hand well-being, we aimed to uncover the meanings of the hospital routine experience for mothers of children\uddiagnosed with cancer. Method: This is a qualitative research with phenomenological content analysis; from the\udapplication of semi-structure interviews with nine mothers, in a Public Hospital. Results: The results revealed that the\udhospital routine can be permeated by physical discomfort, anguish; fears, uncertainties, difficulties in adapting to the\udrules, environment and hospital procedures; by nostalgia, isolation from people, contexts and meaningful occupations;\udand tasks linked to the child care. However, people can (re) think the daily life through occupational experiences\udand supportive relationships between caregivers, which may contribute to the perception of well-being and learning\udresulting from this experience. Conclusion: Therefore, this experience and the way it can interfere with the health and\udwell-being of people should receive attention from occupational therapists in hospitals
