چکیده انگلیسی


• 24 adolescents with serious illnesses reported on their camp experiences.
• Themes included: sense of belonging, enjoyment, being myself, positive affect, and 4 more.
• Slight to moderate qualitative variations existed between diagnosis groups.

This study explored the experiences of a summer camp for adolescents with serious illnesses and included interview responses from campers with different types of serious illnesses. Twenty-four youth aged 14–15 with cancer, sickle cell disease, HIV/AIDS, or metabolic diseases provided videotaped interviews that were analyzed using an interpretative phenomenological approach, and frequencies of responses per theme and diagnosis were computed. Camp experiences varied across diagnostic groups and featured: a sense of belonging, enjoyment, being myself, positive affect, camp programming, adult staff, personal growth, and escape. Some qualitative variations existed between diagnosis groups. Campers with cancer perceived camp as a place for sense of belonging, personal growth, and escape. Campers with HIV/AIDS perceived camp as an opportunity for a sense of belonging, being myself, camp programming, and escape. Campers with sickle cell disease perceived camp as a place for enjoyment, adult staff, being myself, personal growth, and escape. Campers with metabolic diseases perceived camp as a place for personal growth and positive affect. Professionals caring for youth with serious illnesses should consider adding camp to the list of interventions to promote children's well-being. Future research should include more youth and illness types.
