PAGES: 75
BIG AREA: Ciências da Saúde
AREA: Enfermagem
SUMMARY:
Introduction: The analysis of subjectivity is present in the theoretical bases of acupuncture
treatment that consider the patient as a holistic being and have the treatment plan based on the
emotions and psycho-emotional reactions presented by the patient. Objective: To know and
understand the users' perception and beliefs about the health outcomes of acupuncture.
Methods: This is a qualitative study guided by the methodological framework of Grounded
Theory (GT) and Symbolic Interactionism (SI) as a theoretical framework. Data were collected
through semi-structured interviews conducted in a private acupuncture clinic. Preliminary
Results: Up to the present moment, four interviews were analyzed, resulting in a quantity of
thirty in vivo codes. The meanings constructed in the experience of acupuncture were related
to the impact of acupuncture on symptoms, the concept of acupuncture and association with
other treatments. Preliminary Considerations: Considering that we are at the beginning of
data collection, Symbolic Interactionism and GT has helped us to understand the meanings that
people who have received acupuncture build when undergoing this treatment. We understand
that we have not yet reached the theoretical saturation point and that other meanings can be
reported, thus contributing to the formulation of theoretical concepts anchored in everyday life.
