Background: Palliative care needs are increasing worldwide. Although palliative care is an interdisciplinary approach, nurses play a central role in the team context. As it is necessary to clarify the unique contribution of nursing to palliative care, the current study aims to identify and analyze the nursing theories used in Palliative Care research. The methodology was a literature review of investigation articles published between 1994 and 2014 in the databases Pubmed, CINAHL, B-on, Cuiden, Scopus, Cochrane Library and Embase. Fifteen articles from 6 countries that used 10 different theories were found. The grand theory was the most used type of theory and the Humanistic Nursing Theory was the most used theory. We conclude that there is no consensus surrounding the utilization of one unique theory in Palliative Nursing. It is considered that the use of different theories in different contexts and different populations can contribute to a sustained reflection. There needs to be more studies developed in this context with a theoretical background.

“…According to Franca et al (2013) [3] communication is the foundation of a human interaction. As such, it is the base for a relationship that permits nurses and other healthcare professionals to learn from the experiences of the child with cancer, and from the child's family to best understand their values and preferences.…”

The last period of life for a child dying from cancer is of critical importance, not only for the child, but also for the child’s parents and other relatives. Health care professionals, especially nurses, face multiple challenges when caring for children dying from cancer. By better understanding the conversational topics that arise in the care of children dying from cancer and their families, nurses may best manage the communication challenges that arise during this difficult time of suffering. This literature reviews aim is to examine and gather evidence about topics that support nurses’ communication when caring for children dying from cancer and their families. There are central conversations that pediatric oncology nurses should be comfortable with: death and dying; EOL decision making; symptoms and suffering. In pediatrics, play and playfulness should be maintained. Issues related to hope are integral to the parents’ experience. Literature indicates that the involvement of palliative care teams improves the EOL experience for parents and children.

“…Palliative care focuses on relieving the patients' physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs, and on integrating the patient's and family members' beliefs, values, cultural and religious practices, communication, music therapy, pharmacology, spirituality, among others. 4 Communication stands out among these strategies, which can be viewed as a complex process that involves the perception, understanding, and transmission of messages in the interaction between patients and health professionals. It should be emphasized that the control of pain and symptoms, the interdisciplinary teamwork, and the adequate use of communication skills and interpersonal relationships are the basic triad of palliative care.…”
