| Sumario: | Palliative care is a distinctive approach, especially when indicated for oncological conditions when there is no possibility of disease remission. This treatment, when started early, aims to improve the quality of life of the patient by relieving pain and symptoms of the disease, also benefiting their families. The objective of this work was to investigate the psychological impacts on family members on the diagnosis and treatment in palliative care of cancer patients. This is a qualitative research with single case design, with a 50 year old participant, caregiver of her father, during palliative care in his home. The instrument used was two semi-structured interviews with supportive intervention if necessary. From the results analysis, it was observed that the participant decided to become a responsible caregiver for her father, showing intense emotional and physical impact and questioning about her faith, being necessary to adapt and resignifyher life before this experience. It was concluded that there was a psychological impact on the participant from the experience of changes caused by her father's illness and the adaptation to caring for him, with feelings of fear and anxiety at the expectation of death, and after the death, the interviewee showed affective ambivalence related to the loss and the need to readapt her routine, this being a gradual process of mourning. |
