title: The experience of family care in transitional support houses.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  to present the theoretical model that represents the experience of care in transitional homes of support to families of children in a period of post-transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells.
  
  
  METHODS
  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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  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.
