 abstract = {Objectives: To identify care needs of cancer patient and correlate these needs with the domains of NANDA
taxonomy. Method: Qualitative study conducted in clinical wards for hospitalization of adults of a university
hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Seven interviews were conducted and analyzed by the method of thematic analysis.
Results: The interviews showed that cancer patients have their sleep patterns, nutrition and eliminations
changed during hospitalization. Also underlined the hope of a cure, the belief and support of family and friends
actuate in the process of coping with the disease. In the interviews two dimensions of nursing were identified:
nursing related to techniques and proceedings, and Nursing related to therapeutic communication. Conclusion:
To identify needs for nursing care means to completely observe those patients, see beyond the disease, see a
human being who has beliefs, values, coping skills, and strong support from family and friends.},
