Abstract

Objective: to identify the nursing concepts and care related to Kennedy's Terminal Injury available in the literature. Method: This is an integrative review that used the BVS and CAPES Journals Portal Database, using the MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF and SciELO. Studies that evaluated Kennedy's Terminal Injury and nursing care were considered. Results: A total of 05 publications in the form of texts and full abstracts were included, 04 studies and 01 editorial. The studies are in a foreign language (English and Spanish), thus reinforcing the alert to the need of the national scientific community. The data were categorized, being grouped into two categories: Kennedy's Terminal Ulcer and its peculiarities and the strategies of Nursing actions at the end of life. Conclusion: There is still a shortage in scientific studies mainly by the national scientific community, in particular nurses demonstrating the lack of knowledge produced related to caring for patients affected by Kennedy's Terminal Injury.
