title: [Embracement: when the user knocks on the door].
abstract: Qualitative study conducted between April and June 2010, in a health-care teacher who works in the Family Health Strategy, located in Salvador -Bahia, the study aimed to analyze the perceptions of users about the embracement. Study participants were 12 subjects of both sexes. The data were submitted to categorical analysis, from which emerged four categories: User understanding on embracement; Relationship between the health team and embracement; Embracement as part of accountability, co-responsibility and problem solving; Barriers to embracement. The analysis and discussion of the above categories suggests that the embracement is a proposal on continuous improvement even when there is an effort to achieve them in health practices coming in the intersubjectivity of the subjects involved.
