Objetivo: compreender a percepção dos técnicos de enfermagem em relação aos acompanhantes dos pacientes oncológicos em fase terminal.Metodologia: trata-se de uma pesquisa descritivo-exploratória de natureza qualitativa, desenvolvida em um hospital referência para o tratamento do câncer em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. A coleta de dados ocorreu entre os meses de setembro e outubro de 2016. Utilizou-se a Análise de Conteúdo fundamentada em Bardin para a avaliação das entrevistas.Resultados: a partir da análise das entrevistas, emergiram duas categorias empíricas: O conviver cotidiano do técnico de enfermagem e o acompanhante do paciente oncológico em fase terminal e Fatores dificultadores da interação da enfermagem com os acompanhantes, focando-se na interação dos profissionais com o acompanhante e os fatores de conflito entre as partes.Conclusão: foi evidenciada a importância do acompanhante pelo técnico de enfermagem nesse processo de terminalidade, na medida em que podem proporcionar segurança e acolhimento ao paciente. No entanto, a ausência de uma comunicação adequada entre os acompanhantes e o profissional foi o fator preponderante na geração de conflitos. A enfermagem requer, por parte da instituição assim como do acompanhante, de espaços nos quais possam expressar suas angústias e anseios, fazendo que esse percurso seja um momento de acolhimento e de criação de vínculos entre os envolvidos.
According to the World Federation of Right to Die Societies the term Comfort Care is often used as a synonym for Palliative Care. Palliative Care encompasses in its concept the management of pain and symptoms, support for the patient and family, and the opportunity to achieve a meaningful closure to life. Thus, the article delves into various texts to understand the role of the nursing professional in the maintenance and promotion of health in view of palliative care. Thus, the guiding question of this article is: in the national scientific scenario, how is palliative care presented in the nursing field? The bibliographic review, as a data collection technique, was selected, aligning itself with the expectations of this work, which is to present a broad discussion on the theme in question. This work was carried out from a search on the Google Academic platform, which presented the bases PubMed, Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Portal Capes. The descriptors used were “Palliative care”, “dysthanasia” and “nursing care”, applying a time cut from 2015 to 2023, being selected 30 articles with titles associated with the terms “nursing and complications associated with palliative care”. From the analysis of the articles, it was noted that the professional nurse, in palliative care, must be qualified to make accurate assessments, lead, plan, and have the human eye when practicing care. These assessments result in the nurse’s ability to develop plans for dealing with symptoms and side effects: constipation from narcotic analgesics, nausea and vomiting, lethargy, insomnia, anxiety, and dyspnea. The nurse and the multidisciplinary team responsible for implementing techniques to minimize these problems that are painful for patients and family members who are present in the face of their loved one’s suffering.
