Abstract

ABSTRACT Objectives: to verify nurses’ perceptions about comprehensive care to human beings from the ecosystem perspective, with Therapeutic Touch use. Methods: an exploratory-descriptive, qualitative study, conducted with 11 nurses who use/used Therapeutic Touch in daily work. Data were collected through online semi-structured interviews and submitted to discursive textual analysis. The ecosystem framework was used. Results: participants talked about the theme in a polysemic way, but understand that comprehensive care is associated with nursing professionals and intrinsic in their being and doing, considering the philosophical theoretical bases of nursing, which aim at the comprehensiveness of being. Final Considerations: Therapeutic Touch was considered as a way to achieve comprehensive care caring to human being ins. The objective of the study was achieved; however, it is understood the need for other research to advance this knowledge and enable innovations in professional practice of nurses.
