https://doi.org/10.31877/on.2026.53.07Palavras-chave:
Cuidados paliativos, Família, Neoplasias, Qualidade de VidaResumo
Introdução: O câncer é um importante problema de saúde pública mundial, com crescente incidência e mortalidade, ampliando a demanda por cuidados paliativos e suporte aos familiares cuidadores, cuja qualidade de vida pode ser significativamente comprometida. Objetivo: Mapear os estudos sobre a qualidade de vida de cuidadores familiares de pacientes oncológicos em cuidados paliativos. Método: Revisão de escopo conduzida segundo o método Joanna Briggs Institute, com base no mnemônico P (participantes), C (conceito) e C (contexto). A busca foi realizada em seis bases de dados, sem restrição temporal ou idiomática. Resultados: Foram incluídos 77 estudos desenvolvidos em seis continentes, com predominância de cuidadores cônjuges (98,6%) como participantes e o contexto hospitalar (76,6%) foi o mais investigado. Emergiram quatro categorias relacionadas aos impactos físicos, psicológicos, sociais e espirituais do cuidado. Conclusão: A literatura apresenta avanços, porém persistem lacunas teóricas e culturais, especialmente na América Latina, indicando a necessidade de políticas e estratégias de suporte ao cuidador.
