Use of hypodermoclysis to improve the quality of life of patients in palliative care
Abstract
Introduction: Palliative care can be understood as an approach that provides quality of life for individuals and their families, regardless of age, who face diseases that threaten the continuity of life. In addition, the approach values the prevention and relief of suffering based on early and adequate recognition and evaluation in order to consider all the dimensions involved in the subject. It is essential that nurses are sensitive and attentive to the needs of patients and their families, valuing their desires and values. Objective: To identify health education strategies to expand knowledge on hypodermoclysis in nursing. Methodology: this is a literature review inspired by the "scoping literature review", using some steps indicated by this methodology. A sample of 51 articles was reached, and the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, resulting in 12 articles consistent with the guiding question. Results: three categories emerged: nursing care in the application of hypodermoclysis, benefits and complications of hypodermoclysis and continuing education for professionals who provide care to patients in palliative care. Final Considerations: through the use of hypodermoclysis, it was possible to observe safety, acceptability and effectiveness for symptom management, in addition to the transition of care in patients in palliative care, enabling home use through the training of family members and relying on the support network of trained professionals.
