Objective: To analyze the scientific evidence available in the literature on the role of nursing in patient care in palliative care. Method: This is an integrative review. The search for articles was carried out; with delimitation in the last 5 years; in Portuguese, English and Spanish; available in full. On data platforms: BDENF, DOAJ, LILACS, PMC, SCOPUS and Web of Science. Results: Data were organized and presented in figures and tables. Of the 125 studies found, 25 were available from BDENF, 46 from DOAJ, 24 from LILACS, 26 from PMC, O from SCOPUS, and 4 from Web of Science; however, after reading, only those who met the criteria for inclusion and exclusion described in the methodology remained, 6 studies. Conclusion: This study provided the identification of some difficulties and characteristics associated with the role of nursing in patient care in palliative care; linked to the lack of knowledge and lack of incentive.
