• Abstract:

  Introduction: Colorectal cancer is a neoplasm found in the colon and rectum, its symptoms and treatment will vary according to the stage of the lesions, resulting in physical and psychological changes in patients and their families. Objective: To identify nursing care for patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer and to highlight the perspective of the patient and his support network in studies from 2012 to 2022. Methods: The study is an integrative review based on the search for articles in databases Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and Nursing Database (BDENF), accessed through the Virtual Health Library (VHL). Results: 18 articles were selected resulting in three groupings by thematic category: Colorectal cancer and ostomization from the patient's point of view; patient care, according to the view of the family caregiver and finally, the main nursing care for patients with colorectal cancer. Conclusions : The changes in the patient's life stand out and how they can be circumvented based on care established by the nursing team and family caregivers, demonstrating the need for nurses to act in all health care, however it is emphasized that there is a lack of studies aimed at all nursing care and not only at people with a stoma.
