Objective: to identify the information needs of children with leukemia regarding self-care for the creation of mobile applications. Method: qualitative research, carried out between November 2023 and January 2024 in a support home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, through semi-structured interviews conducted with ten children diagnosed with leukemia. Data was processed using IRAMUTEQ® software and interpreted using thematic analysis. Research protocol approved by the research ethics committee. Results: a total of five themes were identified as a result of the interpretative grouping of the seven classes of text segments related to information needs for self-care: treatment repercussions, diagnosis, chemotherapy, body care and the home environment, as well as desirable media in mobile applications, especially videos and games. Conclusion: the information needs described can facilitate the sharing of guidance in an attractive, playful and accessible way, generating possible positive contributions to the self-care process of these children.
