| Resumo: | The aim was to identify the scientific evidence surrounding the meaning of life of nurses working in palliative care in a hospital, through an existential perspective. The integrative review was performed through searches in the indexed databases LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF, CINAHL, and SCOPUS from 2008 to June 2019, following the PRISMA recommendations. Twelve international papers were selected from which three categories emerged: “existential experiences of nurses working in palliative care”, “the meanings and significations assigned by nurses in palliative care” and, “coping strategies and interventions pointed out as overcoming existential questions”. It is important to know the motivating sources guiding nurses’ decisions, as well as the creation of strategic windows in care to give meaning to the nurses’ work. Additionally, to represent an essential value in their lives, that will promote satisfaction and favor the care culture to patients in palliative care. |
