The strengths of drawing-based approaches for encouraging children's participation in health research and facilitating communication with them have been increasingly acknowledged in the medical literature. However, there is a lack of methodological discussion on drawing-based approaches suitable for researching children living with physical health problems. The present study systematically reviewed qualitative research using drawing-based approaches on the experiences of children living with physical health problems and summarised how the approaches were used as well. We identified 54 studies from five databases. The characteristics of qualitative methods and drawing-based approaches were analysed. To obtain an overall understanding of the illness-related experiences of these children, qualitative data generated from the included studies were synthesised using the thematic synthesis approach. This systematic review highlights the appropriateness and accuracy of the use of drawings-based approaches in health research with children on their illness-related experiences, fostering inclusive participation and engagement of young generations.

对有身体健康问题的儿童的疾病相关经历的基于绘画的研究的定性综合

基于绘图的方法在鼓励儿童参与健康研究和促进与他们的交流方面的优势已在医学文献中得到越来越多的认可。然而，对于适用于研究有身体健康问题的儿童的基于绘图的方法缺乏方法论讨论。本研究系统地回顾了使用基于绘图的方法对患有身体健康问题的儿童的经历进行的定性研究，并总结了这些方法的使用方式。我们从五个数据库中确定了 54 项研究。分析了定性方法和基于绘图的方法的特点。为了全面了解这些孩子的疾病相关经历，使用主题综合方法综合了纳入研究产生的定性数据。该系统评价强调了在儿童疾病相关经历的健康研究中使用基于绘图的方法的适当性和准确性，促进了年轻一代的包容性参与和参与。
