Abstract

DAMASCENO, Nauristela Ferreira Paniago; MALVEZZI, Edson; SALES, Cibele de Moura e SALES, Antonio. Narratives as alternative in health research. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.64, pp.133-140. Epub 03-Jul-2017. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1807-57622016.0815. The potential of narratives in understanding the meanings people attach to the environment and to themselves contribute to their use in qualitative research. However, few procedural details of these surveys are found, especially those that integrate reports into a single story. This work describes the production of knowledge in qualitative health research coming from the study of pleasure, suffering and illness in higher education teachers. The experiences reported in 25 interviews were the guide of an interpretive analysis based on the
