Objective: To describe the perception of nurses and physicians in relation to palliative care provided to people with bloodoncologic diseases met in an emergency ward of a general hospital.
Material and Methods: This is a qualitative study, with exploratory and descriptive approach. Six nurses and six physicians were interviewed from September to November 2017. The data were treated through operative analysis of Minayo.
Results and Discussion: Three categories emerged: "end of life is only end of life, without palliative care"; "(re)thinking the palliative care with the person with cancer"; and "the urgency and emergency: challenges for the care in terminality".
Conclusion: The palliative care relates to life terminality, and the emergency room environment is considered inappropriate for this care, but nurses and physicians recognize the importance of the quality of life offered with the adequacy of assistance to palliative care.
