description The World Health Organization defines Palliative Care as assistance promoted by multidisciplinary team, with purpose of improving the patient and relatives' life quality, before a life-threatening disease. The family has an important role in this process, since more than treating disease, the "Palliative Care" treats people. Psychology can act in the sense of supporting the patient and one's family, enabling a welcoming space for fears and anxieties, collaborating to the adequate participation of both in the illness process. This work's purpose is to describe the welcoming experience carried out to patients' relatives in Palliative Care. It is carried out at the Clinical Oncology Ward from Hospital Prof. Dr. José Aristodemo Pinotti – CAISM, by the Psychology team. It occurs through a spontaneous service search by the relative and/or patient, through referral by the multidisciplinary team or service screening, being made before and/or after death. It is observed that welcoming is a therapeutic listening space, which provides benefits to the relatives and patient, taking into account that it enables illness development and redefinition. We conclude that welcoming is necessary, since it makes the family relationship easier, promoting better communication and providing confrontation resources in the illness process.

A Organização Mundial da Saúde define Cuidados Paliativos como assistência promovida por equipe multidisciplinar, que tem como objetivo melhorar a qualidade de vida do paciente e de seus familiares diante uma doença que ameace a vida. A família tem papel importante neste processo, já que mais do que tratar uma doença, os “Cuidados Paliativos” trata de pessoas. A Psicologia pode atuar no sentido de apoiar o paciente e sua família, possibilitando um espaço de acolhimento para medos e ansiedades, colaborando para a participação adequada de ambos no processo do adoecimento. Este trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a experiência do acolhimento realizado aos familiares de pacientes em Cuidados Paliativos. O mesmo é realizado na Enfermaria de Oncologia Clínica do Hospital Prof. Dr. José Aristodemo Pinotti – CAISM, pela equipe de Psicologia. Ocorre através da busca espontânea de atendimento pelo familiar e/ou paciente, por encaminhamento da equipe multidisciplinar ou pela triagem do serviço, sendo feito pré e/ou pós óbito. Nota-se que o acolhimento é um espaço de escuta terapêutica que traz benefícios para os familiares e paciente, tendo em vista que este possibilita a elaboração e ressignificação do adoecimento. Concluímos que o acolhimento se faz necessário, pois é um facilitador na relação familiar, promovendo melhor comunicação e proporcionando recursos de enfrentamento no processo de adoecimento.
