OBJECTIVE: to know the performance of the nursing team in front of a home care program in palliative care aimed at terminally ill individuals. METHOD: a qualitative study developed with nurses working in a home care program of the State Department of Health of Acre. Data were collected in October 2021 through a semi-structured interview and analyzed following Bardin's content analysis proposal. RESULTS: nurses demonstrated knowledge about palliative care applied to the individuals they serve, evidencing that the care provided is dynamic and requires specific skills to develop them, from the simplest to the most complex, being of fundamental importance for the quality of life of the assisted individuals. Some factors favor the assistance provided, such as the knowledge and dedication of the team, the partnership with the family, and the resources made available by the program. However, the location of the patient's home makes access difficult and interferes with the quality of care to be provided. CONCLUSION: the role of nursing professionals in the home care program in question was considered essential to ensure dignity and relief from suffering for those whose clinical condition is unfavorable.
