Resumo: The untranslatable word desenrascanço, a Portuguese construct related to people’s ability to skilfully negotiate complex issues and to solve them with originality and creativity, was studied using a common medical complex scenario – multimorbidity. An online qualitative survey was carried out in the last trimester of 2018. A total of 117 general practitioners (GPs) completed the full survey. Ninety-one (77.8%) were familiar with the concept of desenrascanço. Responses were coded using thematic analysis. Desenrascanço is commonly used by GPs; 77 out of 91 GPs use desenrascanço in at least half of the appointments with multimorbid patients. Three components of desenrascanço were identified: adaptive response; creativity and art; and positivity. It could conceivably be hypothesised that the positive drive of desenrascanço (e.g. creativity) are used by GPs collectively to adapt to multimorbidity – a medical complex situation. Nonetheless, one should not forget that it may not be the ideal solution, as stated by participant GPs. Keywords: multimorbidity, primary care, desenrascanço, untranslatable word.

Uma investigação qualitativa, online, foi realizada no último trimestre de 2018. Um total de 117 médicos de família (MF) completaram a pesquisa. Noventa e um (77,8%) estavam familiarizados com o conceito de desenrascanço. As respostas foram codificadas por meio de análise temática. Desenrascanço é comummente usado por MF; 77 de 91 participantes usam desenrascanço em pelo menos metade das consultas com pacientes com multimorbilidade. Foram identificados três componentes do desenrascanço: resposta adaptativa; criatividade e arte; e positividade. Pode-se supor que o impulso positivo do desenrascanço (por exemplo, a criatividade) é usado pelos MF coletivamente para se adaptarem à multimorbilidade – uma situação médica complexa. No entanto, não se deve esquecer que esta pode não ser a solução ideal, conforme afirmado pelos MF participantes.uBibliorumPrazeres, José Filipe Chaves PereiraSimões, José Augusto RodriguesLomas, Tim2021-06-14T09:01:26Z2021-03-312021-03-31T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.6/11178engPrazeres F, Simões JA, Lomas T.
