Purposes: to evaluate and describe the degrees of capacity and functional impairment in tracheostomized of a public hospital and their interrelations. Methods: case-control study, quantitative, descriptive and cross, done in a tertiary hospital, linked to the National Health System Capacity and functional impairment were assessed using the Barthel Index and the Karnofsky Performance Scale in tracheostomized and not tracheotomized into four wards. The study group was matched with a control group taking into account age, sex and illness that led to hospitalization. Results: the sample consisted of 52 patients, 30 males and 22 females. The mean age of the study group was 55.4 years and in the control group 55.1 years. Statistical analysis of the Barthel Index in the study group classified 84.62% of patients as totally dependent for the realization of the ten domains of the instrument, contrary to the control group only 15.38% of patients had this degree of physical dependence and 53.85% showed complete independence the same activities. The lifting of the Karnofsky scale showed that 57.69% of the study group had a 40% score, unlike the control group 42.31% got 90% score.

Relações de cuidado entre enfermeiros da atenção básica e cuidadores familiares de pessoas com câncer
ABSTRACTThis exploratory-descriptive and qualitative study was performed with the objective to identify the care relationships between Family Health Strategy nurses and family caregivers of people with cancer, living in a municipality in Northwestern Paraná state. The interviews were performed in June of 2011, at the subjects' homes and at Basic Health Units, using guiding questions. Data analysis was performed using the content analysis technique, thematic mode, proposed by Bardin. Results showed there is a paradox between the view of the relatives and the nurses, and that difference stimulated us to reconsider if nurses are truly aware of their role towards the studied population. Finally, we realize the need for nurses to recognize their real competencies, as coordinators of the health team and as the ones responsible for the home care, making themselves present in the direct care to individuals with cancer and their families.Descriptors: Family; Caregivers; Home Nursing; Nursing; Neoplasms.
RESUMENEstudio exploratorio, descriptivo, cualitativo, objetivando conocer las relaciones de cuidado entre enfermeros de la EstrategiaSalud de la Familia y cuidadores familiares de pacientes de cáncer, en un municipio del noroeste de Paraná. Entrevistas realizadas en junio de 2011, en los domicilios de los sujetos y en las Unidades Básicas de Salud, mediante dos preguntas orientadoras. Para análisis de datos se utilizó el análisis de contenido, modalidad temática, según Bardin. Los resultados expresaron una paradoja entre las concepciones de los familiares y los enfermeros; tal divergencia nos hizo reflexionar acerca de si realmente el enfermero es consciente de su papel ante la población estudiada. Finalmente, percibimos la necesidad de estos profesionales de reconocer sus auténticas competencias, en su calidad de coordinadores del equipo de salud y responsables por el cuidado domiciliario, haciéndose presentes en la atención directa a los individuos con cáncer y sus familias.
“…15 Isso explica o fato de muitos familiares apontarem o hospital como o local ideal para o óbito, revelando a dificuldade de enfrentamento do momento da morte. 16 Isso sugere que "o sofrimento põe o sujeito face às impotências, aos limites e à decadência corporal, expondo-o à perspectiva da morte e precipitando defesas e estratégias de enfrentamento que excedem a dimensão do organismo". 17 Ao escrever sua história, o Ser-aí discerne a morte pelo que ela é em seu pensar, isto é, enquanto uma probabilidade distante.…”
Section: Angustiando-se Perante a Possibilidade De Morte Iminenteunclassified
Objetivou-se neste estudo compreender os sentimentos de pessoas que experienciam o luto pela morte de um ente por câncer. Estudo de caráter qualitativo, à luz da fenomenologia existencial de Martin Heidegger, realizada de abril a junho de 2009. Seis depoentes foram selecionados junto aos arquivos do Programa de Assistência e Internamento Domiciliar, do município de Cascavel-PR. Os familiares foram inquiridos com a questão: "como você está vivenciando a morte de seu familiar"? Da análise emergiram três temáticas existenciais: Angustiando-se perante a possibilidade de morte iminente; Descobrindo sua própria finitude e; Experenciando a temporalidade de estar-no-mundo enlutado. Conclui-se que o enfermeiro deve caminhar ao lado do enlutado, uma vez que este necessita sentir-se apoiado em todo o processo, pois existir-no-mundo enlutado significa trilhar um caminho para sobreviver à ausência de um ente amado e encontrar um novo sentido para a existência
