| Sumario: | Introduction: In Brazil, there is an emerging discussion regarding care plans and concerns related to the needs of cancer survivors. Objective: This study aimed to understand the experience of oncology specialist nurses in providing care to cancer survivors. Method: This exploratory qualitative research was conducted through an exploratory approach with a qualitative focus, carried out in two public hospitals and two private hospitals located in Fortaleza and Rio de Janeiro. Data were collected through in-person focus group sessions in each city, with 11 and 8 participating nurses, respectively. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data. Results: The study revealed an understanding that having cancer impacts individuals and society across various dimensions. Notably, the interplay between physical, psychological, social, and economic well-being was highlighted. Additionally, challenges related to the unpreparedness of services and professionals to address these comprehensive needs were identified. Conclusion: These aspects should guide the reconstruction of policies and practices aimed at supporting people with cancer in Brazil, particularly in optimizing care processes and attending to the long-term needs of unsatisfactorily addressed survivor groups. |
