    Objective: To describe the perception of quality of life that caregivers of patients with palliative care assigned to a tertiary health care institution in the city of MonteríaCórdoba have in the period 2022. Methodology: descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach in a sample of twenty caregivers of patients in palliative care. To obtain the information, the Betty Ferrell quality of life instrument was used. Results: The caregivers of patients with palliative care in the study ranged from a minimum age of 30 years to a maximum of 74 years, most of them female, housewives, low and medium level of education, and stratum 1 and 2. The quality of life of the participants in the physical and psychological dimensions denote negative alteration due to pain, exhaustion, eating and sleep changes; likewise, to the anguish for the diagnosis and treatment of the patient, and the fear of a relapse; while the social and spiritual dimensions are perceived positive, because of the support of other people to satisfy the care of their loved one, because their personal relationships and sexual life have not been affected and their work at home allows it. Likewise, the support they receive from religious activities, and meeting their needs through prayer and meditation, these dimensions being an aspect that can effectively influence the quality of life of these caregivers to the extent that it can compensate and / or make the conditions identified in the other two dimensions more bearable. Conclusion: The results on the perception of the quality of life of the participants show that the physical and psychological dimension of these is negatively affected by the overload that care has generated, such as exhaustion, pain, sleep and eating disorders; while the social and spiritual dimensions are not affected, evidenced by the fact that they find support in their role as caregivers in their environment, occupation, social life and beliefs, despite the economic overload that their relative's situation entails.

    (2021-01-20) Ruiz Narvaez, Melissa Gisella; Ibañez Durango, Emma Lucia; Ferrer Ferrer, Giselle Helena
    This integrative review addresses the articles published on palliative care in nursing. Objectives: To characterize the publications and describe the topics studied regarding palliative care in the nursing area, in the last five years. Methodology: Integrative review of the literature of articles published in Portuguese and Spanish languages. The Lilacs, Scielo, ProQuest, MetaRevistas and ScienceDirect databases were searched, selecting 23 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Results: In the investigations, the qualitative methodology prevailed and the majority were carried out in Brazil. The themes emerged from the analysis were organized in seven categories: experiences, attitudes and feelings; nursing knowledge about palliative care; perception of palliative care from the perspective of the nursing professional; perception of palliative care from the perspective of the family member; spirituality; academic training on palliative care, and quality of life. Conclusions: The thematic trend of the reviewed publications shows a variety of issues studied, with a predominance of issues inherent to the work of nursing professionals such as experiences, feelings, attitudes and their perception of the care provided to terminally ill patients. The perspective of the patient and her relatives has been less studied, considering the possibility of developing research in this area.
