Abstract

The present essay seeks to reflect on corporeality within humanized healthcare. Three key elements serve as central axes of humanized care: corporeality as a constituent of humanized care, respect as a foundation for the humanization of care, and the intimacy and dignity of the body. Humanized care, grounded in phenomenological perspectives, values corporeality and human experience within healthcare delivery. It highlights the importance of empathy, dignity, compassion, and respect, while promoting self-care and equitable attention. Privacy, the physical environment, and clear communication are considered essential. This conscious practice acknowledges the patient as a person endowed with rights, emotions, and thought, thereby making visible their dignity and freedom.
