Percepção do paciente oncohematológico a respeito da participação da família no seu cuidado em um hospital universitário

Abstract

This article reports on oncohematological patients' perceptions of family participation in their care at a university hospital. The aim was to assess whether the presence of the family member favors the patient's emotional comfort and adaptive process during hospitalization in the hematology ward. In order to obtain the results and answers to the problem presented in this work, we decided to carry out a study using a qualitative methodology, based on national studies researched in the Scielo database, Google Scholar, specialized websites on the subject and in university repositories and books, which are of significant importance in defining and constructing the concepts discussed in this analysis. In addition to the bibliographic survey, a sociodemographic questionnaire was used for data collection, as well as semi-structured interviews with patients admitted to the aforementioned ward. The research was able to contribute to the expansion of knowledge regarding family participation in treatment, understanding it as a basic unit of care, which helped in discussions about the importance of including the family in patient care. The study's relevance was justified by the fact that it enabled reflection on comprehensive patient care strategies, understanding the family as a partner of the health team.
