- Abstract
Objective: The study's purpose has been to map scientific evidence on interventions targeting people with wounds in palliative care. Methods: It is a scoping review conducted with studies in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, from national and international databases, published from 2010 to 2019. Results: 41 publications from 14 nationalities were included. Studies have as their main theme the evaluation and treatment of wounds of different etiologies. The interventions were presented concerning aspects of care management, basic stages of wound care, psychosocial, and spiritual aspects. Conclusion: Careful assessment of the patient and wound is required. If the parameters are favorable to healing, the team will adopt specific therapy to achieve it. Otherwise, care should include more conservative and less invasive techniques, management of signs and symptoms, and interventions aimed at the social, psychological, and spiritual impacts related to the wound.
