Objectives:
to analyze nurses' perceptions of mental health care for patients with malignant wounds.
Methods:
qualitative descriptive study; virtual interviews were conducted with 20 oncology nurses via Google Meet. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis (Bardin) and IRaMuTeQ (Descending Hierarchical Classification and similarity analysis).
Results:
five thematic classes emerged: 1) The relationship between wound dressing and mental health; 2) Malignant wounds and their impact on patients' psychosocial health; 3) User embracement and active listening as strategies for mental health care; 4) The multidisciplinary approach and its weaknesses in mental health care; and 5) The relationship between age and coping with cancer and its complications.
Final Considerations:
according to nurses, mental health care encompasses wound dressing, symptom control, and factors that aggravate symptoms such as age and socioeconomic context. The importance of the multidisciplinary team in this care and its fragilities were highlighted.
