Zusammenfassung: | Objective: to comprehend children's or adolescents' experiences of living with symptoms of a chronic condition. Method: on a qualitative approach, taking Grounded Theory as a frame of reference and 11 children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years hospitalized in a state university hospital as participants, data were collected by semi-structured interview using the "draw, write, and tell" technique. The interviews were recorded and transcribed, and then analyzed following the steps of Grounded Theory. Results: analysis identified the category "Having to live with symptoms", which comprised 5 subcategories featuring physical, emotional and general symptoms, the experience of living with multiple simultaneous symptoms, and the consequences of living with them. Conclusion: living with several symptoms entails limitations. Nursing needs to favor children's and adolescents' expressions of their experiences in order to minimize stressful situations and improve symptom management by planning individualized strategies.
