Resumo
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in a concept defined in 1990 and updated
in 2002, Palliative Care consists of assistance provided by a multidisciplinary team, which aims
to improve the quality of life of the patient and their families, faced with a disease that threatens
life, through the prevention and relief of suffering. Among the members of the team that assists
hospitalized patients, nurses stand out for their permanence and uninterrupted provision of care,
witnessing their anguish and suffering in the process of death and dying. The objective of the
study is to describe nursing care for patients with advanced chronic illness, from the perspective
of palliative care. This is a literature review, which seeks to describe a certain subject, based on
analyzes and interpretations of existing scientific production. The study provided a discussion
about the palliative care provided to the patient, the role of each professional who makes up the
multidisciplinary team and the integration of the patient, family and/or caregiver in all decisions
inherent to the treatment.
Keywords: nursing; care; palliative care; chronic disease.
