Results: the comprehensive analysis happened in the first methodic moment and allowed the construction of ten meaningful units. The interpretativeanalysis, the second methodic moment, demonstrated that the woman showed herself, in the way of being in the routine, in the impersonality, fearful andoccupied with her syndrome.
