SUMMARY:

The increase in population aging and advances in health, science and technology that have contributed to the increasing life expectancy of Brazilians, together with the high rates of noncommunicable chronic diseases, have led to an increase in the demand for palliative care, which is fundamental for the quality of life of the person and their families in the face of conditions that threaten the continuity of life. Thus, since palliative care according to the WHO definition does not necessarily have a relationship with the end of life, but with the improvement of quality of life, primary care plays an important role in this, not only in curative processes. , but also in palliative processes. This model of care must be continued not only in the hospital environment, but mainly in primary care. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the knowledge of Primary Care professionals about palliative care and its use in the work context. This is an explanatory study, with a qualitative approach, data collection was carried out through a semi-structured interview. The place for data collection was the city of Arez, a Brazilian municipality in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, and the collaborators for the research were health professionals with a technical and higher level registered at the CNES in primary health care. Twenty-four primary care health professionals participated in the study. Qualitative data were analyzed through Bardin's thematic content analysis. The study obtained a favorable opinion issued by the CEP of HUOL/UFRN, under opinion number: 5,132,798, CAAE: 52747621.0.0000.5292. It was evident after the research that there is a need for reflection on the definition and training of health professionals in relation to palliative care, and all issues related to it (death, loss, grief, family), especially those in primary care. The importance of this theme must consider the epidemiological profile of the population for chronic conditions, and the growing need for palliative care, which is revealed as a challenge for everyone, as it is a new demand for care. We emphasize the need for continuity of studies related to the theme, mainly related to the implementation of Palliative Care in Primary Health Care and permanent education for health professionals
