RESUMO

The care of chronic wounds is part of daily nursing, being relevant to know your experience and expectations regarding the treatment of people with chronic venous ulcers (CVU). A study used the approach of Social Phenomenology by Alfred Schutz to understand the experiences and expectations of nurses who cared for women with Chronic Venous Leg Ulcers (CVLU) in primary health care. This study was conducted with seven nurses who were working in Primary Health Care units, Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. The taking of statements took place in January 2012, utilizing the phenomenological interview approach, asking the following questions: How do you take care of women with CVLU? What are your expectations when caring for a woman with CVLU? The comprehensive analysis resulted in classifying the professional nurse as one who identifies the difficulties of women to perform self-care, considering the issues inherent in their daily life, low self-esteem and lack of family support for the continuation of treatment. Perceived limitations in therapy are affected by values and beliefs related to the condition and the woman\ s and nurses frustration, mainly due to reoccurrence of the wounds. The study also refers to the lack of inputs and technology, interdisciplinary work and training of nursing staff as limiting factors for treatment. The expectation is that the treatment of CVLU, underlining the necessity of continuous care, self care guidelines and standardization of ducts to treat wounds and preventing recurrences of the injury, thereby allows women to achieve a better quality of life. It was evident that the limits and possibilities that permeate the care of this disease are due to various situations, including institutions and health policies related to it. It is hoped that this research allows will result in reflections and actions in health care, education and research regarding the care of women with CVLU. This research should support the application of knowledge in these areas of study, highlighting the various objective and subjective aspects woven into the care of woman.
