Resumen
Objective: to verify the application of the Merleau-Pontyan perspective on the physical and psychological implications of chronic
venous ulcers in the existence of people who experience the disease. Method: a qualitative study, of the descriptive phenomenological
type, developed with 36 patients. The fi eld of investigation was the Outpatient Clinic of Wound Repair of the Hospital Universitário
Antônio Pedro. The collection occurred from June to December 2016, through a phenomenological interview. Results: the experiences
inherent in people who have venous ulcers pass through the world and “return” to the body itself, refl ecting on the biopsychosocial
aspects and the sensitivity left on the being. Conclusion: the biological characteristics of the subject affected by the venous ulcer have
repercussions on their physical aspect, promoting infl uences along with the emotional and social changes originating from the clinical
picture on the social aspects and consequently reverberating on the quality of life of this individual.
