description Introduction: The increasing use of CAM is due to its reported effectiveness and low side effects. Nevertheless there is not enough research on possible complications and interaction with conventional medicine. Objective: Describe the experiences of women who have used complementary and alternative medicine. Methodology: Qualitative descriptive phenomenological research. Data collection derived from in-depth interviews with a semi structured guide related with the studied phenomenon, observation and field notes. The data was analyzed with Krueger ́s proposal: reading, transcription, codification, formation of topics and subtopics, criteria of scientific rigor and the informed consent was applied. Findings: From the analyzed interviews, the main reason which they opted for alternative medicine was by recommendation from relatives or friends and it ́s affordability. The interviewees admitted to have used 1 or more alternative methods, from which the herbalist stands out, to treat both specific pathologies and general symptoms. Regarding their emotions and feelings that caused them to use the CAM stand out the confidence and well-being that this makes them feel. A belief about the safety of herbal remedies was found due to their belief that they ́re harmless. Conclusions: The participants experience with CAM were mostly positive and none of them reported negative effects by its use. This perceived wellbeing sensation make people feel great confidence on its healing effects.

Sin embargo, no hay suficientes investigaciones sobre posibles complicaciones e interacciones con los medicamentos convencionales. Objetivo: Describir las experiencias de mujeres que hayan utilizado la medicina alternativa y complementaria Metodología: Investigación cualitativa con diseño fenomenológico descriptivo. La recolección de datos se realizó a través de entrevistas a profundidad, con una guía que incluyó los temas relacionados con el fenómeno a investigar, observación y notas. El análisis se realizó según lo propuesto por Krueger: lectura, transcripción, codificación, formación de temas y sub temas, se aplicaron los criterios de rigor y el consentimiento informado. Hallazgos: Se encontró que los principales motivos por los cuales las entrevistadas acudieron a la medicina alternativa fueron por recomendación de familiares o conocidos así como la asequibilidad de la misma. Las entrevistadas admiten utilizar 1 o más métodos alternativos, de los cuales sobresale la herbolaria, para tratar patologías específicas y/o síntomas generales. Sobre sus emociones y sentimientos que les causó el uso de la MAC sobresalen la confianza y bienestar que les genera. También se identificó una creencia sobre la inocuidad de los remedios herbolarios ya que creen que son inofensivos. Conclusiones: La experiencia de las participantes con la MAC fue en lo general positiva y ninguna reportó efectos secundarios por el uso de la misma. Por esta sensación de bienestar percibida, las personas tienen una gran confianza en sus efectos sanadores. Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México2018-08-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unam.mx/index.php/cuidarte/article/view/6914010.22201/fesi.23958979e.2018.7.14.69140CuidArte Journal; Vol. 7 No. 14 (2018): AGOSTO; 18-29Revista CuidArte; Vol. 7 Núm. 14 (2018): AGOSTO; 18-292395-897910.22201/fesi.23958979e.2018.7.14reponame:Cuidarte ?El arte del cuidado?instname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://revistas.unam.mx/index.php/cuidarte/article/view/69140/62207Derechos de autor 2018 Revista CuidArteinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/691402024-08-16T17:05:45Z
