Abstract
The communication of bad news remains a challenge for health professionals. The possibility of facing a potentially incurable disease sometimes makes it impossible to provide comprehensive care, since fears and anxieties can take on greater proportions than the reality is. However, much more can be done by the team to improve the quality of care for patients with serious illnesses and their families. In this sense, health teams must promote constant education for improvement of communication skills, which will have a significant influence on the management of cases, by all involved - doctors, psychologists, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers, among others. Interdisciplinary work through effective, careful
and ethical assistance, with an aligned communication, will favor the possibility of an integrated care, considering all the important
dimensions for patients and their families: clinical, emotional, social and spiritual.
