Abstract:

The use of different artistic forms and cultural expressions has been considered a means of health intervention that enriches comprehension and reflection of health needs. A group of clowns characterized as physicians carried out household visits among ten families of micro-areas of two family health strategy (FHS) teams during eight months. This practice aimed to increase the resolution power of personal and collective care with the intense proximity promoted by clown art. The idea was to carry out interventions in households of families at socioeconomic risk indicated by FHS teams and to use happiness, humor and laughter as ways to provoke reflection on everyday problems. The presence of the clown-doctors in these homes was able to construct strong and unrestricted bonds with families, potentiating humanized and integral care in the context of FHS. Together, clowns and families built, in a singular manner, possible solutions to difficulties encountered in daily life. The clown was able to elicit new subjective constructs so that each family could cope with everyday situations.
