Objective: To analyze family caregivers’ knowledge and practices regarding tracheostomy care. Methods: This is a qualitative descriptive study carried out in a referral hospital for oncology. Seven family caregivers of patients with tracheostomy participated in the study. Data collection was carried out through a semi-structured interview. Bardin’s content analysis was adopted in association with the IRAMUTEQ program. Results: Three categories were formed: Family caregivers’ knowledge about tracheostomy care; Use of materials for tracheostomy care; Family caregivers’ knowledge about laryngeal cancer. Furthermore, from the interviews, gaps in knowledge regarding the diversion were identified. A lack of training of family members was also observed, with insecurity and fear of handling the respiratory diversion being portrayed in all statements. Conclusion: The study made it possible to understand the perception of family caregivers regarding tracheostomy care, identifying their difficulties and experiences during the process. With the data obtained, it was noted that knowledge gaps are caused by the lack of training and preparation of skills during the hospitalization of a sick family member.
