- Abstract
Objective: to understand the meaning of guided imagery relaxation for the patient undergoing cancer treatment. Method: qualitative study performed with 11 patients undergoing cancer treatment, from January to March 2020. Sociodemographic and clinical questionnaires were applied in the form of an interview, followed by a complementary and alternative relaxation therapy session with guided imagery relaxation. The statements were recorded and submitted to content analysis, proposed by Bardin. Results: three categories were identified: Relaxation as a body and mind connection; Relaxation as an ally in the reduction of symptoms; and Relaxation as reinforcement of positive beliefs. Final considerations: guided imagery relaxation was meant by the cancer patient as a valid process in care and recovery.
