Description
Summary:Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis technique. Result: after data collection, the dimension of the family caregiver and the inserted environment of social representations were observed. In this context, the Theory of Social Representations (TSR) allows for the understanding and analysis of common sense, in which the opinions, precepts and beliefs that permeate the caregivers of cancer patients in palliative care are understood, being essential to know the behavior exercised and the adversities faced by these people.4 Palliative care offers a support system that enables the patient to live as actively as possible until the moment of death, assists family members during the patient's illness and helps them cope with bereavement. In other words, it seeks to find out, as precisely as possible, the frequency with which a phenomenon occurs, its relationship and connection with others, its nature and its characteristics.6 Research setting and participants The research was carried out at the Ophir Loyola Hospital (HOL), located in the Metropolitan Region of Belem do Para.
