Resumo:Abstract: Using a humanistic and qualitative approach, the present study aims to (1) bring light on the impact of clown doctors’ artistic work in pediatric oncology and, as a consequence, (2) contribute to the refinement and improvement of the clown doctors’ intervention quality, in the context of pediatric oncology, bringing hypotheses of reflection hardly met with quantitative approaches. We are interested in the subjective experience of the artists, and the perceived subjective experience of the child as reported by the clown doctors. The present analysis was developed from the clown doctors’ final reports, their narrative, after visiting the pediatric oncology ward in a Portuguese public hospital, for a continuous period of six months. The visits were performed by a clown doctor dyad, and the audience was a young adolescent girl, with cancer, and her constant mother.
