Cancer is the first disease to benefit from this care, which is essential to alleviate the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual suffering of patients in their final stage of life. This research analyzed the nursing approach to cancer patients from a peaceful end-of-life perspective. Bibliographical research was carried out by collecting information from national and international scientific documents published in indexed databases such as Scielo, Redalyc, Dialnet, and Elsevier and visiting the official websites of the World Health Organization (WHO), Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador (MSP). The nursing approach in palliative care, based on the theory of Ruland and Moore, allowed us to identify that comprehensive and human-centered care achieves a significant improvement in the quality of life of those who are in this stage of vital uncertainty, prioritizing pain control through the administration of pharmacological and non-pharmacological analgesia to prevent suffering. This approach to physical and emotional discomfort through relaxation techniques prevents complications and promotes tranquility and general well-being; as well as the active inclusion of the family in decision-making and care, considered essential so that the end-of-life experience is painless, characterized by well-being, dignity, peace and closeness to loved ones. |
