Abstract

The present study analyzed the proxemic factors of interactions between health professionals and laryngotomized patients in mediate post-surgery. We used the non-participant observation technique with pre-established guidelines. Data were analyzed according to Hall's theoretical framework. The speakers' sex or color did not influence the distance maintained in the interactions; the nursing technical care category was predominant; the attitude adopted was compatible with the meeting goals; instrumental touch with visual contact was predominant, voice tone was adequate to the distances maintained and the authors observed the presence of obstacles in some interactions, which demonstrated that communication was impaired.
