Abstract

The interest in carrying out this study is based on the need to understand the lived experiences of people who have suffered physical sequelae of cerebrovascular disease. This research was conducted in the municipality of Santa Rosa de Cabal, Risaralda, Colombia. Objective: to understand the experiences and meanings that people who have suffered a cerebrovascular disease give to the physical sequelae caused by it. Methodology: qualitative study, characterized by being holistic, reflexive, hermeneutic, with ethnographic approach and part of the "emic" look. Sixteen people over 30 years of age with physical sequelae of cerebrovascular disease were interviewed and a field diary was included. Results: for the participants, cerebrovascular disease is an event that does not warn and lasts with the establishment of physical and psychological sequelae, which generate exclusion of themselves and others, leading them to isolation, guilt and stigmatization, and this confronts them with the need to reincorporate and be independent or resign themselves and remain dependent. Conclusion: participants with physical and psychological sequelae live experiences that can be obstacles that accentuate isolation, blaming and stigmatization, both of themselves and of other people towards them.
