This study aims to reflect on the importance of phenomenology in the nursing area, as a possibility of opening up spaces to think about care based on the existential understanding of man, contemplating the human dimension beyond the technical-scientific perspective. Thus, the authors discuss nursing’s tendency, focusing on care from a phenomenological approach.
