Palliative care is an approach used in people with life-threatening conditions, focused on the alleviation of suffering and on the physical, psychosocial and spiritual aspects. Jean Watson's Theory of Transpersonal Care transcends the physical body, contemplating the individual in their body-mind-spirit integrality. This dissertation consists of two articles. The first article entitled "Palliative care for women with breast cancer: integrative literature review" aimed to characterize the scientific production on palliative care developed by nurses for women with breast cancer in national and international journals from 2014 to 2018. It is an integrative review carried out in the LILACS, BDENF, MEDLINE and EBSCOhost databases, obtaining twenty-four articles as a sample. From the analyzed empirical material two categories emerged: nursing care for women with breast cancer in palliative care; difficulties encountered by nurses in palliative care for women with breast cancer. The second article entitled "The woman with breast cancer in palliative care: nurses' discourse in light of Jean Watson's Theory" had the following objectives: to investigate the discourse of nurses in relation to the care of women with breast cancer in palliative care; to analyze the assistance of nurses to women with breast cancer in palliative care, in light of Jean Watson's Theory. This is an exploratory study with a qualitative approach, performed in a hospital with eleven nurses, through a recorded interview. The empirical material was analyzed through the content analysis technique, emerging thematic categories: human care in palliative care to women with breast cancer; the authentic presence, the loving kindness and the help relation of the nurse when caring for the woman with breast cancer; the spiritual care and the valorization of the faith as support in the promotion of the palliative care to the woman with breast cancer. The studies developed in this dissertation demonstrated that the Transpersonal Care Theory assists in promoting a humanized, effective and comprehensive palliative care, visualizing the woman with breast cancer in her multidimensionality.
