Enfrentamento Familiar Pós-Morte de Pacientes em Cuidados Paliativos: Revisão Sistemática
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.1590/Resumo
El cuidado emocional ha demostrado ser importante ante experiencias de pérdida por muerte, influyendo en la percepción del duelo y el bienestar del individuo. El objetivo de este estudio fue verificar los recursos de afrontamiento adoptados por los familiares tras la muerte de pacientes atendidos por equipos de cuidados paliativos. Se utilizó el método propuesto por JBI SUMARI para revisiones sistemáticas cualitativas. De 158 artículos, se retuvieron once, que fueron sintetizados y agrupados según su nivel de credibilidad, luego clasificados en categorías temáticas tras la metasinapsis. Se concluyó que los familiares enfrentan emociones como arrepentimiento, miedo y tristeza, agravadas por dificultades de comunicación y la observación de síntomas físicos no controlados. La preparación para la muerte destaca como un método eficaz de afrontamiento, subrayando la importancia de una comunicación clara y la planificación conjunta de los cuidados con el equipo. Aunque los cuidados paliativos son valorados, su acceso temprano sigue siendo limitado.
