[Palliative home care in the view of families of a person with neoplasia].
This is a qualitative research that aimed at knowing how the subject's family experiences palliative care in home for people with neoplasia. We have used a semi-structural interview for data collection. There were eight practitioners taking care of regional oncology service subjects. Data were analysed through Bardin's content analysis and refer to description of reasons, meanings, and difficulties experienced by the family in home care. We have found the most significant experiences were associated to what made women develop this care, this experience is related to economic difficulties and feelings of gratitude, fondness, love, feedback, fear, blame and conflicts.
