Abstract

Objetivo: Avaliar o papel da telemedicina na vida dos pacientes com câncer em Cuidados Paliativos (CP) no contexto de pandemia. Método: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa analisando artigos que abordavam a telemedicina no acompanhamento de pacientes oncológicos em CP durante a pandemia. A procura por artigos publicados entre 1 de janeiro de 2020 e 1 de junho de 2021 com os descritores “telemedicine”, “cancer” e “palliative care” foi feita nas bases PUBMED, MEDLINE e LILACS, e 20 artigos foram selecionados para compor a pesquisa. Resultados: Foi identificado que houve aumento considerável de teleconsultas no contexto de pandemia e que a maioria das experiências estão sendo positivas por parte dos pacientes. Os artigos mostraram-se favoráveis ao uso desse tipo de atendimento e/ou reforçaram a necessidade de desenvolvimento do sistema. Esse meio foi avaliado como excelente e imensamente útil por pacientes e familiares em boa parte dos artigos. Além disso, a ideia de permanência da tecnologia pós-pandemia foi observada, principalmente para a modalidade de oncologia integrativa. Entretanto, desafios foram apontados em parte das pesquisas, como a questão do exame físico, dificuldade no acesso tecnológico pelos pacientes e falta de suporte social. Conclusão: O crescimento do uso da telemedicina no âmbito geral foi benéfico para o tratamento de pessoas com câncer em CP, e cumpriu seu papel fundamental de garantir que o cuidado fosse mantido, ao mesmo tempo em que evitou a exposição dos pacientes ao vírus. Apesar de essa abordagem tecnológica ainda ter que progredir, a expectativa de sua permanência pós-pandemia é alta
