SUMMARY:

The purpose was to evaluate how the end of life care is structured in the city of Natal RN. It is about a sectional study, with a convergent parallel combination method type, involving quantitative and qualitative approaches of treatment and data analysis. It was developed at institutions enrolled on the National Academy of Palliative Care Website on Natal RN, that offers the basic needed services regarding palliative care. The included institutions were: Hospital Monsenhor Walfredo Gurgel, University hospital Onofre Lopes and Liga Contra o Câncer. The target population of this study were medical professionals specialized on palliative care or that nominate palliative care and patients under palliative care, accompanied by enrolled institutions at the National Academy of Palliative Care (ANCP), which are able to provide this type of care, during the period of data gathering that occurred between June and September of 2019. Initially, one made an identification of the units who were providing palliative care. After this, one raised the epidemiological profile of patients under palliative care: mostly women, with an age group of 60 to 79 years old, that never smoked and most of them (40.2%) had advanced mammary neoplasia. Afterwards, deep interviews were made with medical professionals with the purpose of identifying the knowledge about palliative care, and finally, it aimed to evaluate the quality of life of the patients under palliative care through the Palliative Care Outcome Scale (POS). We obtained as results that the quality of life is unfavorable, because the scores are always at a moderate level. It is concluded that palliative care in Natal RN is still under construction. For it arose as challenges: The advanced state of illness in which the patient arrives. Professionals feel uncomfortable to indicate palliation, because throughout their training is taught to cure and not care. The unfavorable quality of life results from the entire unfavorable process to palliative care, even with staff and medication support, as it encompasses major factors ranging from culture change to the absence of guidelines that regulate palliative care more effectively.
