RESUMO:

In Brazil, the increase in life expectancy and the ageing population, associated with high levels of degenerative chronic diseases, provided an increment on the demand of palliative care, which is vital for the person’s quality of life and their relatives in face of diseases that threaten the continuity of life. In this regard, the nurse must attend the patient in an integral and sensitive way, always concerning the physical, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions, acting as a link between the patient, family and the other team members, being the professional with the highest opportunity to establish the care practices. However, one highlights that the nurses or the nursing students are not yet ready to deal with the patient in palliative care. This study’s objective is to analyze the teaching of palliative care in the nursing education at the state of Rio Grande do Norte. It is about an exploratory-descriptive study, with a qualitative approach. The place of study will be both, public and private university education institutions, from the state of Rio Grande do Norte, recognized by the Minister of Education and Culture, on-site and active courses in 2018. Its participants were eleven coordinators from graduation courses in nursing and nine pedagogical projects. The research was fulfilled with two stages: 1) Semi structured interview accompanied by a script with the coordinators, regarding the teaching of palliative care during the nurse’s formation, with the participants’ characterization; 2) Descriptive analysis of the pedagogical projects and the investigated institution’s characterization. Bardin’s thematic content analysis with Minayo’s adaptation and the philosophic theoretical reference of Edgar Morin was used. The study received the assent from the Committee of Ethics in Research from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte with CAAE nº 91830118.7.0000.5537. As results, three thematic categories were identified: 1. Palliative care regarding the coordinators point of view; 2. Nursing formation in palliative care; 3. Capabilities and challenges of teaching alluding palliative care. The analyzed results, from the pedagogical projects, highlighted the absence of the palliative care content as a mandatory or optional discipline in all researched university education institutions, as well as the lack of the term “palliative care” inside the academic discipline summaries on most institutions. These findings reinforce the thesis that Brazilian nursing, especially regarding this study’s context, shows a void in the nursing formation related to palliative care, and it responds to the literature evidences about the lived hardships and unpreparedness of professionals and nursing student when assisting patients with palliative care. One highlights the need of a reflection in relation to the nursing formation, given the theme’s current importance in the health professionals’ teaching, upon considering the population’s epidemiologic profile for chronic conditions, and the crescent need of palliative care, that reveals itself as a challenge for the coordinators, professors and nurses, as it is a new demand of care.
