Resumo: | ABSTRACT Objective: to know the medicinal plants used in self-care by people with cancer in palliative care. Method: this is a qualitative study, of the exploratory and descriptive type. The research was conducted in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, in the participants' homes. Data collection was conducted between June and September 2018. The study participants were people with cancer in palliative care followed-up by the Program of Interdisciplinary Home Hospitalization, in use of medicinal plants. They totaled 20 participants, with 14 having the presence of the caregiver during the interview; she occasionally encouraged them to answer the questions. Results: it was identified that people with cancer in palliative care already used medicinal plants before the illness and continued using them in a search for therapeutic action, both for reducing symptoms caused by late-stage of the disease and for curing cancer. The knowledge of medicinal plants, most of the times, was passed from generation to generation or by friends and, generally, the use of plants is not informed to the health care professionals. Conclusion: the research produced a recovery of the popular knowledge of the species used in palliative care by people with cancer, promoting the comprehension of their habits regarding the use of the plants. Accordingly, the expansion of pharmacological studies related to the plants used for the treatment of signs and symptoms of cancer is essential. |
