RESUMO Objetivo Compreender o significado do relaxamento com imaginação guiada para mulheres com câncer de mama, buscando investigar, também, como as pacientes visualizam o câncer e seu sistema imunológico durante as sessões de relaxamento com imaginação guiada e se sentem após sua realização. Método Estudo de natureza qualitativa, com abordagem fenomenológica e referencial teórico-metodológico heideggeriano, fundamentado no Método Criativo e Sensível, desenvolvido no ambulatório de radioterapia de um hospital de ensino público do interior paulista. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizada a compreensão heideggeriana, que ocorreu em duas etapas: a compreensão vaga e mediana e a hermenêutica. Resultados Participaram do estudo nove mulheres com idade entre 45 e 67 anos. Os dados permitiram compreender o significado do relaxamento com imaginação guiada pelas participantes, pois puderam ser classificados em três unidades de significado: o estigma do câncer, o enfrentar da doença e os benefícios do tratamento. Conclusão O significado do relaxamento com imaginação guiada possibilitou a compreensão do ser-no-mundo durante as reflexões proporcionadas, sendo possível verificar a importância do oferecimento da terapia pelo enfermeiro nos cuidados da mulher com câncer de mama.

“…The found results are consistent with the results of other research that also showed that mastectomy and non-breast reconstruction, portray the lowest scores for quality of life [4,8,10]. In fact, breast reconstruction has been incorporated into a better concept of quality of life, integrity and preservation of self-image [12,13]. Since the best quality of life has been observed among women, who underwent more conservative surgery, as quadrantectomy [4], which matches the result found in this research.…”

“…In this situation, reaffirms the need and relevance of assessing the individual thinking in one and not the collectivity because the being must be evaluated in the context in which is inserted, taking into account their needs, the variables involved in their lives and their daily lives.

“…According to Pimentel et al (2007), pain is a more frequent symptom in women who were submitted to axillary lymphadenectomy. In a study involving women who were submitted to either mastectomy or lumpectomy, Ferreira et al (2014) found that pain was daily, constant and related to the surgical procedure. Cantarero-Villanueva et al (2012) conducted a clinical trial with breast cancer survivors and found a reduction in pain, an increase in the pressure pain threshold and a reduction in the number of myofascial trigger points after an aquatic physical therapy protocol.…”
