PEIXOTO, Maria José    BORGES, Elizabete. Suffering in the Context of Disease. []. , 6, pp.36-39. ISSN 1647-2160.

Suffering is a biopshycosossial and spiritual process and it is present in all the contexts related to disease. But, suffering has repercussions not only on the person/family but also on the health professionals. In this context we will develop a short reflection about the suffering of people who lost their welfare and the nurses, who by their inherence of the function, are integrated in the centre of suffering.
