Abstract
Considering the biopsychosocial benefits arising from human/nature interaction, we questioned how the biophilia hypothesis has been inserted into palliative care. The objective was to map, through integrative review, the historical and scientific conception of the theme, attesting to the contemplation of palliative care principles. Of 1,928 scientific texts, 71 covered the theme, being possible to identify at least one of the nine principles, with emphasis on the integration with psychological and spiritual aspects. Biophilia was applied, above all, to the emotional aspect, and zootherapy, to the relational. However, in view of the limitations imposed on the attendance of biosafety aspects and dependence on volunteers, the insertion of therapeutic horticulture in hospices and pet visits is proposed.
