This study aimed to understand the meaning and reveal the meanings of the hospitalization experience and the safety of care for hospitalized patients. The methodology of qualitative nature with a phenomenological approach based on the theoretical - philosophical - methodological framework of Martin Heidegger, was used. Eleven patients who experienced hospitalization in a general hospital in the interior of Minas Gerais State were interviewed. The phenomenological interview was based on the following guiding questions: 1) How is your hospitalization experience? How do you perceive security - oriented actions with your care? The essential structures that allowed the construction of the Units of Significance emerged: To be hospitalized is to be a way from the family, to be well cared for, with care and affection, to have the help of the roommate and Security is to have the daily medical visit and caring nurses. The interpretative understanding reached the unveiling of the senses that are configured in the routine of hospitalization as a domineering care in the hospital environment and contributes to bring up the need to improve communication as a way to make it an active agent of promoting its safety, demonstrating the need to be present and clarify what is security so that it receives effective, liberating and authentic care.
