Story is a powerful tool in holistic nursing care. Narrative therapy, story circles, narrative-psychotherapy, and family therapy methodology have incorporated storytelling in a research setting. Childhood cancers isolate children from traditional childhood experiences. In recent years, survival rates for pediatric oncology patients have improved, opening up opportunities for research. The increase in life expectancy makes it necessary to investigate the psychosocial perspectives of children as they progress. This review focuses on the use of digital storytelling among pediatric cancer patients as a form of reflection. Furthermore, it addresses the possible therapeutic effects that may be realized by children who produce a digital story. Sixty-four references were identified via Pubmed and CINAHL databases using the following keywords: "digital storytelling," "narrative therapy," "pediatric oncology," "childhood development," and "interactive narrative." Future research will focus on addressing the gap in the science, particularly in evaluating pediatric oncology patients' perspectives about the role of digital story in the context of Erikson's developmental stages
