It is worth mentioning that some aspects related to research have also been noticed in this pandemic period, mainly in epidemiological and experimental studies, which have proved to be fruitful. In the same way, it happens with research on people’s experience, in their different life contexts, which leads, in addition to transformations in areas such as (tele) work, online education, social isolation, among others. In this sense, we note as a positive point the growing appreciation of qualitative studies that allow researchers, with a more focused praxis, an understanding of a person’s experience and the uniqueness of their needs(1-2). This change was possible because the researchers were able to adapt their qualitative research, from the study design to the introduction of the results in the clinic(2), to this ‘new reality’.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167.20227503011984-044635584408
