- Feelings of nurses who work with cancer patients in terminal phase Delmo de Carvalho Alencar Antonia Taísa de Carvalho Rejane Lopes de Macedo Ana Maria Neiva Eulálio Amorim Álissan Karine Lima Martins Marcia Teles de Oliveira Gouveia Medicina Nursing Mental Health Medical Oncology Objective: To identify the feelings of nurses who work with cancer patients in terminal phase. Methods: It is a qualitative research conducted with 10 nurses from the oncology department of a hospital in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil. Data collection occurred through semi-structured interviews submitted to thematic analysis. The Research Ethics Committee of the Santo Agostinho College approved the study under protocol No. 350/10. Results: One of the biggest anxieties nurses face is dealing with death, seen as a painful phenomenon and difficult to accept. Most professionals admitted not being prepared to manage and cope with this condition, experiencing it in a conflicting, bitter, and cruel way. Conclusion: Given the fragility of nurses’ feelings, there is a urgent need to aid oncology professionals by creating professional support groups in order to share experiences and minimize the emotional distress. 2017 artículo científico 2175-5361 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=505754110018 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5057 Revista de Pesquisa Cuidado é Fundamental Online application/pdf Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Revista de Pesquisa Cuidado é Fundamental Online (Brasil) Num.4 Vol.9
