ABSTRACT
Objective: to identify the scientific evidence on social isolation among patients with fetid odor in neoplastic wounds. Method: integrative review carried out in the databases LILACS, MEDLINE and COCHRANE with the question << What is the scientific evidence about social isolation among patients with fetid odor in neoplastic wounds? >>. The PICO strategy was used with time horizon from November 2002 to November 15, 2014, in Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. After the selection of the scientific studies, the texts were read and analyzed in their entirety. The information was tabulated in Microsoft Excel® program and processed from the central trend measurement strategy with simple descriptive arithmetic mean, absolute and relative frequency. Results: 352 scientific articles were identified in their totality. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 scientific studies were selected. Conclusion: odor is the main symptom that interferes with the psychosocial aspects of the patient, responsible for causing embarrassment, disturbance of body image and difficulty in interacting with the social network. These factors favor social isolation. Descriptors: Palliative Care; Oncology Nursing; Wounds and Injuries; Odors; Social Isolation.
