The objective of this work was to analyze the scientific production published in online journals about the experience of family members of children/adolescents in palliative care. This is a bibliometric study conducted with 42 articles published between 2007 and 2017, selected from LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF and SciELO The years 2014, 2016 and 2017 presented a higher number of publications. Twenty-two dissemination vehicles were identified, of which the Gaucho Nursing Magazine presented the greatest impact factor. Languages in Portuguese and English prevailed and most publications were produced by nursing researchers, predominantly authors with a PhD and collective authorship. It was observed that the publications on the investigated theme present a little expressive quantitative, considering the period researched. Therefore, it aims to expand further studies in view of the importance of the presence of family members in the process of caring for children/adolescents under palliative care.
