Resumo:
The pain has been studied in the various areas of health, but it must be understood in a multidimensional perspective that includes social, spiritual and psychic aspects. The objective of this study was to understand the experience of chronic pain in cancer patients undergoing palliative treatment. This is a qualitative research using interview and field diary. The data were systematized based on content analysis, that originated the thematic category: pain singularity and coping modes and clinical history of the participants hospitalized in a Public Hospital at the Oncology Palliative Care Clinic. The data indicate that religiosity, spirituality and the difficulty in talking about and encountering pain were the ways in which the participants narrated their pain and the process of illness. Listening in an environment where that the subject feels welcomed allows to speak of pain through words or silence.
