The study emerged from my experience working as a nurse of a specialized service in oncology palliative care. A palliative approach requires greater staff interaction, not only in therapeutic procedures required at the time, but especially to steer properly, and the care provided to patients who are in a state of advanced disease, and promote adherence to family, through interdisciplinary actions. This study has qualitative nature with theoretical and methodological framework in the phenomenology of Alfred Schutz, which focuses on the action meaning. In this sense, the experiences and actions of the family are sources of subjective meanings of experience in take care of a family member in oncology palliative care. Based on these reflexions, the object of study is the lived experience of the family in caring for people in oncology palliative care and the objective is to understand the perspective of caring for the family of a person in oncology palliative care. The scenario where the study took place is the National Cancer Institute / MS, located in Rio de Janeiro, in the Palliative Care Unit / HCIV. The subjects were 20 family of patients in oncology palliative care. The speech apprehension was given by the phenomenological interview, guided by the guiding question: how are you living the experience of caring for your family in oncology palliative care? The study allowed the comprehension that the family of a person in oncology palliative care has been exposed as one who helps, supports, standing together, not giving up, supporting and representing the family, in the perspective of facing their own difficulties in the face of oncology palliative care and try to understand the palliative approach that focuses on reducing pain, overcoming the label of the terminal. Therefore, offer a way to understand the care of family, situated in the institutional world, enabling capture the experiences and the meanings that underpin this practice leads to a behavior, actions and relations, a way of thinking to guide the individual in his daily life to be and be with each other at this stage of life. In this sense, listening and communication constitute themselves as the pillars of the family in caring for oncology palliative care. The integration of the family throughout the process is central to the care provided to the person, providing evidence of the importance for the nurses to meet the expectations of acting as a facilitator in the care implementation. Therefore nursing actions can contribute and help the family to find their own solutions to situations involving support the needs presented.
