Resumo:
O objetivo deste estudo é refletir sobre os cuidados às pessoas com doenças em fase terminal na atenção primária a saúde (APS). Esta pesquisa torna-se relevante no contexto atual de transição demográfica e epidemiológica, na qual há um crescente envelhecimento populacional e um aumento da prevalência de doenças crônico-degenerativas. Por meio de pesquisa qualitativa sob o enfoque hermenêutico-crítico, foram realizadas entrevistas individuais com sete familiares, três profissionais da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) e dois profissionais do Programa de Assistência Domiciliar. A análise ressaltou duas categorias empíricas: cuidados no final da vida na percepção dos familiares; e na dos profissionais de saúde. Os resultados evidenciaram que, apesar do discurso de humanização, refletida na prerrogativa de viver os últimos momentos de vida com a família, esconde-se um grave problema de descontinuidade dos cuidados. Concluiu-se que, apesar dos esforços, pouco se logra de melhoria na qualidade de vida de quem morre por uma doença em fase terminal no domicílio, sob os cuidados do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) em municípios distantes dos grandes centros.

Abstract:
The objective of this study is to reflect on care for people with terminal illnesses in primary health care. This study becomes relevant in the current context of demographic and epidemiological transition, in which there is an aging population increase and a rise in the prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases. By means of qualitative research with critical hermeneutics focus, individual interviews were conducted with seven family members, three professionals from the Family Health Strategy and two professionals from the Home Care Program. The analysis established two empirical categories: care at the end of life from the perception of family members and that of health professionals. The results showed that, despite the humanization discourse, reflected in the prerogative of living the final moments of life with the family, a serious problem in the discontinuity of care is concealed. It was concluded that, despite the efforts, little is achieved to improve the quality of life for those who die from terminal diseases at home in the Unified Health System in municipalities distant from large centers.
