Abstract

RESUmo Original article AbStRActThe objective of this study is to identify the care practices of rural families who care for a person with cancer. This qualitative study used the Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory as the theoretical and methodological framework. The participants were three families from a rural area who had a relative undergoing chemotherapy at an oncology service of a teaching hospital in southern Brazil. Data collection was performed between February and July of 2009.

The affection, love, protection, family unity, faith, togetherness and diet concerns describe the care and comprise the care practices of rural families who provide care to the person with cancer.
