Resumo: Medicinal plants and phytotherapy are therapies commonly used to promote well-being in health. Among the populations that use this health practice, low-income residents of suburban areas stand out, as it is a strategy that involves not only scientific foundations, but also other determinants such as interpersonal relationships, culture, environment, beliefs and socioeconomic context. Considering the Covid-19 pandemic scenario, which is strongly characterized by the constant updating of knowledge, popular medicine has become a scientifically supported and valid alternative in the process of mitigating and/or curing the symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection.  Therefore, the present study aims to demonstrate the relationship between the sociodemographic profile of the suburban population and the therapeutic use of medicinal plants and herbal medicines in the symptomatological treatment of Covid-19, through exploratory descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, through the application of a semi-structured interview. The present study identified the following profile of consumers of medicinal plants: 100% women, with an average age of 48 years, 50% with complete primary education and residing in the semi-peripheral region; highlighting the relationship between this population profile and therapeutic practice aimed at Covid-19.

Entre las poblaciones que utilizan esta práctica de salud destacan los residentes de zonas suburbanas de bajos ingresos, ya que es una estrategia que involucra no solo fundamentos científicos, sino también otros determinantes como las relaciones interpersonales, la cultura, el medio ambiente, las creencias y el contexto socioeconómico. Ante el escenario de pandemia de Covid-19, fuertemente caracterizado por la constante actualización de conocimientos, la medicina popular se ha convertido en una alternativa científicamente sustentada y válida en el proceso de mitigar y/o curar los síntomas de la infección por SARS-CoV-2. Por lo tanto, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo demostrar la relación entre el perfil sociodemográfico de la población suburbana y el uso terapéutico de plantas medicinales y fitoterápicos en el tratamiento sintomatológico del Covid-19, a través de una investigación descriptiva exploratoria, con enfoque cualitativo, mediante la aplicación de una entrevista semiestructurada. El presente estudio identificó el siguiente perfil de consumidores de plantas medicinales: 100% mujeres, con edad promedio de 48 años, 50% con educación primaria completa y residentes en la región semiperiférica; destacando la relación entre este perfil poblacional y la práctica terapéutica dirigida al Covid-19.As plantas medicinais e a fitoterapia são terapêuticas usualmente utilizadas para promover bem-estar em saúde. Dentre as populações usuárias dessa prática de saúde, destacam-se moradores de baixa renda de áreas suburbanas, por se tratar de uma estratégia que envolve não só fundamentos científicos, mas também de outros determinantes como relacionamentos interpessoais, cultura, ambiente, crenças e contexto socioeconômico. Considerando o cenário pandêmico da Covid-19, o qual caracteriza-se fortemente pela constante atualização dos conhecimentos, a medicina popular tornou-se uma alternativa cientificamente respaldada e válida no processo de atenuação e/ou cura dos sintomas da infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2. Dessa forma, o presente estudo objetiva demonstrar a relação do perfil sociodemográfico da população suburbana com o uso terapêutico das plantas medicinais e fitoterápicos no tratamento sintomatológico da Covid-19, através de uma pesquisa descritiva exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa, mediante aplicação de uma entrevista semiestruturada. O presente estudo identificou o seguinte perfil de consumidores de plantas medicinais: 100% mulheres, com média de idade de 48 anos, 50% com ensino fundamental completo e residentes na região semi-periférica; evidenciando a relação desse perfil populacional com a prática terapêutica voltada à Covid-19.Research, Society and Development2023-12-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/4459110.33448/rsd-v12i14.44591Research, Society and Development; Vol. 12 No. 14; e104121444591Research, Society and Development; Vol. 12 Núm. 14; e104121444591Research, Society and Development; v. 12 n. 14; e1041214445912525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/44591/35671Copyright (c) 2023 Gabriel Roel Elias Carvalho; Larissa Martins Tosta; Karina Ferrazzoli Devienne Vicentine; Simone Acranihttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarvalho, Gabriel Roel Elias Tosta, Larissa Martins Vicentine, Karina Ferrazzoli Devienne Acrani, Simone 2024-01-01T11:23:38Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/44591Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-01T11:23:38Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
