    Introduction: The main objective of pediatric palliative care is to improve the quality of life of children and their families by alleviating the physical, emotional, social and spiritual suffering associated with serious illness. In order to provide adequate care, nursing staff must perform a first-line assessment that is appropriate, and this is what the theorist Marjory Gordon proposes, which she offers to assess with the eleven functional patterns. Objective: To analyze the studies carried out on pediatric palliative care according to Marjory Gordon's model. Methodology: This is a qualitative, retrospective research, through a systematic review using the documentary technique to collect information in different scientific databases such as Google Scholar, Pub Med, Scielo and Dialnet. In addition, Boolean operators such as "AND", "OR" and "NOT" were used, and the PRISMA statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) was used to obtain information. Results: 103 articles were located, which were discarded due to their similarity. We were left with 54 documents, of which 5 met the inclusion criteria, which were articles in English and Spanish, published from 2020 to 2024. The studies mentioned that functional patterns are used for care in clinical practice. Conclusion: Studies showed that nursing theories in palliative practice highlight Jean Watson's Theory of Humanized Care, which allows for interventions that are tailored to the needs of the pediatric patient and family.
