Objective: to understand the perception of nurses about care for patients with wounds who are in palliative care. Method: research study with a qualitative approach involving 15 clinical nurses from a medium-sized hospital. Data collection was carried out in October 2022 through a semi-structured interview, and categorical analysis according to Bardin. Results: three categories emerged that deal with the importance of promoting comfort, pain relief and well-being. The recognition of the role of nursing with patients is perceived, as well as the lack of materials necessary for carrying out procedures and the lack of permanent education. Final considerations: It is evident that nurses recognize the importance of their care in the treatment of wounds in patients undergoing palliation, however, there is still a lack of preparation on the part of the team and adequate material for good care, which has made the work difficult.
