Resumo

Objetivo: compreender as percepções sobre a qualidade de vida de pessoas idosas em cuidados paliativos. Métodos: estudo qualitativo, conduzido em duas instituições hospitalares filantrópicas, envolvendo pessoas idosas em cuidados paliativos, à luz da Teoria do Final de Vida Pacífico. Utilizou-se a técnica de Pesquisa Convergente Assistencial, com entrevistas. O corpus textual foi processado pelo software IRaMuTeQ. Resultados: participaram 29 pessoas idosas (66–70 anos), principalmente homens, aposentados, casados, com diagnóstico de insuficiência renal crônica ou câncer. Identificou-se que relações interpessoais, espiritualidade, esperança e práticas de lazer sustentam a qualidade de vida e favorecem o enfrentamento da dor e da finitude. Conclusão: a percepção de qualidade de vida envolve múltiplas dimensões do viver e do morrer, o que corroborou os pressupostos da Teoria do Final de Vida Pacífico. Contribuições para a prática: o estudo subsidia a enfermagem na qualificação de práticas de cuidado paliativo à pessoa idosa, sobretudo no apoio emocional, manejo de sintomas e comunicação terapêutica.
