Resumo: The objectives of this qualitative study were to describe the family's feelings and reactions towards relatives undergoing cancer chemotherapy, to identify the family's expectations when accompanying the patient, and to discuss the possibilities for nurses to work with family members. The information-gathering process included simple observation and semi-structured interviews with family members of ten patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy. We conclude that the family's experience is permeated with difficult moments and that both the cancer and its treatment involve not only the patient, but also the entire family group, consistently showing its willingness to help the patient deal with the disease. Thus, assistance by the nurse and multidisciplinary team is essential to provide support for patients and family members in order to improve their quality of life.

A coleta de informações envolveu observação simples e entrevistas semi-estruturadas com familiares de dez pessoas em tratamento de quimioterapia antineoplásica. Concluiu-se que a trajetória dessa família é permeada por momentos difíceis e que o câncer e seu tratamento envolvem não só o doente, mas todo o grupo familiar que se mantém sempre disposto a ajudar o parente no enfrentamento da doença. Assim, o cuidado do enfermeiro e da equipe multiprofissional é fundamental para proporcionar suporte ao cliente e à sua família visando à melhoria da qualidade de vida.INCA2008-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos, Avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/175810.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2008v54n1.1758Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 54 No. 1 (2008): Jan./Feb./Mar.; 31-41Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 54 Núm. 1 (2008): ene./feb./mar.; 31-41Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 54 n. 1 (2008): jan./fev./mar.; 31-412176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/1758/1046Souza, Maria das Graças Gazel de Espírito Santo, Fátima Helena do info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:24:11Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/1758Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:24:11Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false
