    (Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano, 2026) Guayara Morocho Maura Beatriz
    Palliative care is an essential element of the healthcare system because it aims to im prove the quality of life of patients with chronic or terminal illnesses. The role of the specialist in this area fosters close and constant contact with the patient, their family, and the interdisciplinary team, as well as a comprehensive and humanized approach to care. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the role of nursing in the comprehensive care of palliative care patients in Ecuador through a systematic review. The methodology emplo ys a non-experimental, cross-sectional, qualitative design based on a literature review using the PRISMA method. The results demonstrated a significant gap in the academic training and continuing education of nursing professionals due to institutional lim itations such as the lack of standardized protocols and a scarcity of resources, negatively impacting the quality of care provided. Therefore, it is concluded that it is necessary to apply university training and continuing education protocols, based on clinical, ethical, communication and emotional competencies, in order to guarantee comprehensive, dignified palliative care focused on the patient and their family.
