    Cancer has an associated burden that continues to grow, affecting patients, family caregivers, and the individual’s community. The family caregivers’ unmet needs may harmfully jeopardize their well-being and the patient’s health outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to understand the needs and expectations of family caregivers of cancer patients to develop and improve care practices. The present study aims to explore the needs and expectations of family caregivers of cancer patients in palliative care. This qualitative, descriptive exploratory study will use purposive sampling to recruit family caregivers and healthcare professionals from the palliative care units of two hospital centers in Lisbon and Tagus Valley. First, the Focus group will be performed until data saturation occurs. Then, a conventional thematic analysis will be applied to analyze data with the help of the coding software QDA Miner Lite database. This study’s findings will help identify gaps in care and provide data that can support healthcare professionals in providing evidence-based centered care to family caregivers. It can also generate knowledge that may help stakeholders to develop a comprehensive support system for cancer survivors in palliative care and their family caregivers.

    Objective: To identify consequences of falls in women during the perinatal period. Data sources: Academic Search Complete (EBSCO), CINAHL Ultimate (EBSCO), MEDLINE Ultimate (EBSCO), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (EBSCO), Cochrane Clinical Answers (EBSCO), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (EBSCO), Cochrane Methodology Register (EBSCO), MedicLatina (EBSCO), Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP), SciELO, Scopus, and Web of Science. Study selection: We included quantitative or qualitative primary studies, literature reviews, systematic reviews, expert opinion papers, organizational guidelines, and conference abstracts regarding consequences of falls in women during the perinatal period, in any context of care, that were published until November 11, 2024, in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Data extraction: We extracted the following data from the included reports: author(s), year, country, aim, study design, type of report, sample size, setting, types and consequences of falls, prevalence, and risk factors for falls. Data synthesis: From a total of 33 articles, 27 were related to the consequences of falls during pregnancy, 3 were related to consequences of falls during both pregnancy and the postpartum period, 2 were related to consequences of falls during the perinatal period in which one does not identify the specific stage, and 1 was related to the postpartum period. We did not identify any reports of falls during childbirth. Injuries were common consequences of falls among women during the perinatal period, and the severity of falls varied from minor to severe. Obstetric injuries were severe and unique to pregnant women. Conclusion: Pregnant women sustain varied injuries after falls and often need health care. Further research is warranted regarding the consequences of falls during childbirth and the postpartum period.
