Palliative care in Chronic Kidney Disease: an analysis based on Paterson and Zderad

Authors

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease, because it requires longitudinal care, requires a palliative care approach that is not restricted to the end of life. To this end, Paterson and Zderad's Humanistic Care develops assistance to this individual that goes beyond technical practice and considers all the needs that permeate this illness process. Materials and Method: descriptive-exploratory-qualitative research, carried out in two hemodialysis clinics in southwestern Bahia, with 10 nurses. The collection used: drawing-text-theme and semi-structured interview analyzed using an interactive content analysis model. Results: converged into four categories coinciding with phases of the humanistic model. Discussion: The care process highlights the professional's self-knowledge, intuitive interaction, the use of technical-scientific knowledge, and the transformation of lived experience into shared knowledge. Final considerations: The humanistic lenses reveal the Palliative Care process as an integral and continuous work of the multidisciplinary team, which, based on the established bond, is capable of developing a therapeutic project of shared care with the family.

Keywords: Palliative Care; Renal Dialysis; Nursing, Empathy.
