Method:

grounded theory, performed with 18 participants from three different samples. For analysis, we used the QSR Nvivo10 software.

Results:

we elaborated four categories: living in the transitional support home; experiencing care of children in post-transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells; taking care of the family caregiver; and returning to a new life at home, which interrelate according to the theoretical code of the interactive family.

Conclusion:

this research contributes to understanding the experience of care in transitional support homes of families with children in post-transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells and subsidizes nursing and health actions provided to this population; it also contributes to the development of a hospital discharge guidance and care directed to this clientele.
