Abstract

Qualitative study, phenomenological in nature, aiming to understand what it is to be hospitalized in a nutritional support unit. The author presents speeches of clients having parenteral nutrition in order to help professionals in this area or the nutritional support team think over the therapy and the target-subjects, thus helping those professionals develop an understanding attitude, associating reasoning and sensitiveness in caring and healing. Therefore, ten adult clients, submitted to total parenteral nutrition for over ten days, were interviewed. Interviews were analyzed and classified according to hermeneutic-phenomenological principles. The analysis enabled the identification of three categories: temporality, public and private transit and hospitalization as a dimension of pain and suffering. The study results will help humanize support units and introduce human science contents in the curricula of health courses, a teaching/caring/curing focus.
