Abstract:
This is a study of qualitative nature and it was supported with the referential of the dialectical hermeneutics seeking for an understanding of the concepts of the professionals of health that integrate the clinical practice of dialysis in health promotion, besides of elucidating how the communication process among professionals and the fellows that carry out dialysis contributes to a clinical practice of health promotion. For this they were used as methods of collection of data, free interviews and observations--participant besides consultations to documental sources. The results evidence that there is not consent in the conception of the clinical practice as field promoter of health, however it is inferred in the subjectivism of the professionals the desire of an effective and efficient communication in the sense of giving a new meaning to the field of the clinical practice in a perspective of promotion of health.
