For the first phase an instruments with multiples choices was used in order to know the level of knowledge (LK) about palliative health care. The results showed that 75% of the informal health keepers had a “deficient” LK, mainly about breathing disorders symptoms control; administration of solid medicine, and patients cleaning which is a very important aspect for the patient comfort.
