Cuidados paliativos para adolescentes com câncer: uma revisão da literatura

Providing care to adolescents with cancer in the process of death and dying has been a great challenge for health professionals. This challenge is marked by a high emotional burden and specificities of this stage of human development. The purpose of the present study was to review the scientific literature regarding palliative care to adolescents with cancer. This study is a literature review, which data collection was performed using Lilacs, Medline, and PsycInfo, in addition to non-systematic databases. An analysis of the manuscripts revealed three themes: adolescence and its different definitions; the particularities of adolescents with cancer; and palliative care to adolescents with cancer. The study showed there is a scarcity of evidenced-based research defining the panorama of symptoms affecting the quality of life during palliative care and an absence of specific programs in the stage of fast changes that, alone, demand for adaptive efforts.Cuidar de adolescentes com câncer no processo de morte e morrer e um desafio para os profissionais de saude, pelo alto custo emocional e especificidades que envolvem esta etapa do desenvolvimento humano. O objetivo deste estudo e revisar a producao cientifica relativa aos cuidados paliativos para adolescentes com câncer. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliografica com coleta de dados nas bases Lilacs, Medline, PsycInfo e vias nao-sistematicas. Identificaram-se tres tematicas: adolescencia e suas diferentes definicoes; particularidades do adolescente com câncer e cuidados paliativos para adolescente com câncer. Observou-se ausencia de pesquisas baseadas em evidencias que definam o panorama dos sintomas que afetam a qualidade de vida durante os cuidados paliativos, bem como ausencia de programas especificos para esta fase de transformacoes rapidas que, por si so, demanda esforcos adaptativos.
