Abstract
The study aimed to understand the Primary Health Care workers’ perception of a care process with auriculotherapy. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Nine healthcare professionals were interviewed. Then, Content Analysis with a thematic approach was carried out. There were reports on positive effects on improving sleep and quality of life, anxiety reduction, physical and mental relaxation, more concentration, and willingness to do daily activities. The participants emphasized the importance of the therapist in listening, humanization, and welcoming the demands brought. The listening guided the therapist's practice and speech during the care process using auriculotherapy as an alternative care tool for the caregiver.
