- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the contribution of nursing care, with emphasis on communication, for the patient under palliative care in the terminal phase and their families. Method: qualitative study, conducted in a Philanthropic Hospital in the city of João Pessoa-PB, Brazil, in 2019, developed with 15 family members of patients in palliative care, through semi-structured interviews. The data were submitted to content analysis, proposed by Bardin, in the light of the Pacific End of Life Theory. Results: two categories emerged: 'Communication by nursing professionals as a strategy to promote comfort, peace, dignity and respect for patients and families in palliative care'; 'The presence and dialogue of people important to the patient under palliative care are fundamental for a peaceful end of life.' Conclusion: it is hoped that, through this study, it will be possible to improve assistance to the family about communication in palliative care.
