- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the nurses' perception about the participation of family members in palliative care. Method: qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study, with the participation of ten nurses. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and the reports were submitted to thematic and content analysis procedures. Results: the importance of welcoming the family, and their inclusion in the care process represent one of the structuring axes of palliative care. The participants' discourse refers to the participation of the family in palliative care assistance either as an active member of the team, or as a passive one, as the object of care of the team. Conclusion: the family is one of the structuring axes of the care of patients outside therapeutic possibilities of healing, occupying the place of a protagonist and being integrated with the care team. While its collaborative attitude favors patient care, it also helps to keep it as an object of care. It can also be understood that the humanized approach to palliative care allows the Nursing team to encourage activities that were once part of the routine of the patient.
