Abstract: Caring for sick people has been part of the essence of nursing since the beginning, however its work in palliative care is not widely disseminated. Objective: to describe the importance and need to better understand chronic illness in the elderly and palliative care in the active phase of death. Materials and Methods: the study is a bibliographical literature review, of a qualitative nature. Results: the research discussed 12 publications that answered the guiding question. Discussion: nurses play a fundamental role in providing palliative care, however they do not always recognize their role. However, it is demonstrated that nurses who recognize its importance have shown improvements in the provision of care. Conclusion: it is noted that nurses need continued training so that they can identify palliative needs.
