- Abstract
In this study we aimed to analyze the main strategies adopted by nurses, copying in the dying process, in the care to hospitalized children with advanced cancer, and in the self care. This is a descriptive and qualitative research, realized in the Instituto de Puericultura e Pediatria Martagão Gesteira (IPPMG), Brazil. Nine nurses took part in it. The data were collected between January to March 2012, applying semi-structured interview and the Themathic Analysis was used for data treatment. Four categories have emerged, and in this study we present two: the flexibility of nursing care to promote a better quality of life for children with advanced cancer in the process of death and; the self-care adopted by nurses who face the possibility of death of children with advanced cancer. Nurses seek to organize, plan and implement care according to the needs of the child, valuing comfort, quality of life, human dignity and family. They establish strategies for the maintenance of a psycho-emotional balance for the difficulty in dealing with the process of life/death of the child, such as: job involvement, establishing healthy interpersonal relationships, emotional detachment, religiosity and investment in the professional training. The context is complex and suggests new researches aiming to promote intersubjective connections in nursing practices, including thinking and doing, to improve care.
