ResumoEsta pesquisa analisou o preenchimento das declarações de óbito em um hospital universitário. O estudo objetivou avaliar, em prontuários médicos, as declarações de óbito dos anos 2009 e 2011 e as dificuldades dos médicos do corpo clínico em preenchê-las. Realizou-se pesquisa documental e aplicação de questionários aos médicos. Das 528 declarações de óbito analisadas, 265 (50,18%) estavam incompletamente preenchidas. Dos 34 médicos participantes, 34,14% referiram como principal dificuldade de preenchimento as mortes sem assistência médica; 26,47% consideraram ter tido um aprendizado ruim durante a graduação e somente 50% conheciam o documento que orienta o preenchimento da declaração. Como conclusão, infere-se a necessidade de aprimorar o ensino na graduação acerca da declaração de óbito, bem como incentivar a atualização médica sobre este importante aspecto.
