Abstract

This study aimed to identify which conceptions Family Health (FH) nurses attributed to integrality in mans perspective. It was carried out through a qualitative approach, using semistructured interviews with eight nurses working in FH teams in a city in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The analysis was guided by the thematic analysis technique. The results proved that, most of the times, integrality in mans perspective was reported and understood in a memorized way, confusing and even distant from its original meanings, considering man as a machine. Only some statements revealed man as an integral and indivisible being, influenced by the relationship network he is constituted of.
