Abstract

This study aimed to describe the emotions revealed in the daily life of women who received cardiac surgery, using the Phenomenology and the perspective of Martin Heidegger. 10 women who had received cardiac surgery participated in the study, all from a city in the Zona da Mata in the state of Minas Gerais, who gave accounts guided by the question: What is your day-to-day like, following the cardiac surgery? The women showed emotions expressed through crying, distress and depression, which shows the need for ontological considerations, translated based on a language of breaking with the routine of health. It falls to the nurse to dimension her actions based on what is perceived, free of the suppositions and presuppositions which frequently impose nursing care centered on the professional, to the detriment of the urgency of the Being being cared for.
