%X gastrostomy is frequently used to treat children with growth and nutritional problems in chronic illness or incapacity. even though the health team considers that it is a simple procedure, a stoma performed for the child can have emotional and social consequences for family life. the aim of this study was to identify scientific evidence about the experience of a family with a child with gastrostomy. an integrative literature review was performed for the period from 2005 to 2011 and a search for articles in certain databases was conducted, 10 articles about the topic being selected. the findings were organized into four themes: the meaning of the diet for the parents carrying out the parental role; the family experience in interaction with health team; life after gastrostomy. the findings indicate that the family with a child with gastrostomy experiences emotional burden, mainly in the period preceding the procedure, due to the socio-cultural meaning of food for the family. the family needs information and support from the health team during each phase of the experience.
