RESUMO
With the aim of describing the activities of nurses in mobile home palliative care teams in the Brussels Region, the study Nursing practices in palliative care in Brussels outpatient mobile teams took the cultural intermediary model as its theoretical framework. This model is based on in-depth research into the history of the nursing discipline. This article provides an overview of this European conceptual model, its integration into a descriptive study, and highlights some of its contributions.

In Belgium, continuous sedation in palliative care is considered a symptomatic treatment. There is no specific legislation to govern it. Its proper use is based on a set of recommendations that ensure both effective treatment and respect for the patient's preferences, within a rigorous ethical framework.

Nursing practice is founded on numerous theories. While life sciences use evidence to design the most effective practices from a biomedical point of view, human sciences sometimes struggle to corroborate the perception of patients as caregivers in their humanised practice. This article presents a perspective of care in a resolutely human dimension, where the main objective is to be of use to the person.
