Abstract

The study analyzes the semantic and the structure of the term "person" (women with HIV), by means of an holistic approach based on the Roy Adaptation Model (Veritivity) and on Heidegger´s Phenomenology (Dasein). This research was extracted of Nursing Science and Philosophy of Science literature, through the technique of indirect documentation, using the model of theoretical analysis developed by Chinn & Kramer, through which the following aspects were analyzed: objectivity, simplicity, generality, accessibility and importance of person and holism concepts in the empirical study Nutritional adaptation of women living with HIV: a pilot study, published in the journal Holistic Nursing Practice, in 1997. Critically, the interpretation of the term "person" was a result of the understanding of "being" as an ontical-ontological being, as a form of true perception of the sense of being (person), as an alive universal structure in an anthropological and social world, in which women with HIV can adapt to the new lifestyle and receive integral care provided by nursing, mainly with respect to the nutritional aspect.
