Objectives: to reflect on the daily life of family members dependent on psychoactive substances and the role of health professionals in Primary Care. Methods: a descriptive investigation outlined in Maffesoli’s phenomenological approach, carried out at a Basic Health Unit in Minas Gerais with eight family members dependent on psychoactive substances. Sociodemographic characterization data and in-depth interviews were collected and analyzed with support of NVivo Pro11® software. All ethical and legal aspects were met. Results: physicians were the professionals most mentioned in participants’ statements, who took on a dubious role with other health professionals: welcoming (positive perceptions about care received) and neglect (negative perceptions). Final Considerations: dependence on psychoactive substances imposes a burden on persons, their family members and health professionals. The role of establishing good relationships in the triad professionals-users-family members of primary care is inseparable in favor of treatment and preservation of their mental health.
Objetivou-se refletir sobre o ambiente domiciliar de codependentes como um ambiente de convivência com adictos de substâncias psicoativas numa perspectiva fenomenológica. Investigação descritiva, delineada na abordagem fenomenológica à luz do referencial teórico-metodológico-filosófico de Michel Maffesoli, realizada numa Unidade Básica de Saúde em Minas Gerais, Brasil, com oito codependentes. Coletaram-se dados de caracterização e foram realizadas entrevistas individuais em profundidade gravadas. Trataram-se os dados com análise de conteúdo fenomenológico com apoio dos softwares SPSS versão 24 e NVivo Pro11. Atenderam-se todos os aspectos ético-legais de pesquisa. Os oito sujeitos eram mulheres. Compreendeu-se que o “lar” pode se tornar uma verdadeira “Prisão domiciliar” quando a realidade cotidiana for marcada pelos múltiplos papéis ocupados pelas participantes, os quais são gerenciados juntamente com o cuidado ao familiar dependente químico. Portanto, as situações estressoras, dolorosas, que geram sentimentos ruins, como medo, insegurança, tristeza, e os conflitos familiares devem ser alvo do cuidado de enfermagem.
