ABSTRACT
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.
