This social and historical investigation into the ways the health and sickness of mothers from Teixeiras municipality, Minas Gerais state, was represented is designed to comprehend behaviors in this sphere and help develop research in collective health. The semantics and indicators of a pluralistic view of disease and health, were built up from the most holistic to the most biomedical, from the most relational to the most individual. The quest for happiness was presented as a health concept by the mothers, which recalls Aristotelian and Spinozian philosophical concepts, but they put greater emphasis on the absence of illness. The prevailing welfare model still supplies useful references for interpreting such experiences. As the mother's status as care-taker helps one glean an understanding of other factors that affect the process of health and disease, it becomes possible to plan healthcare initiatives that are less alienating and more libertarian.
本次针对米纳斯吉拉斯州特谢拉市母亲们的健康与疾病呈现方式展开的社会历史调查，旨在理解这一领域的行为，并助力集体健康研究的发展。从最整体到最生物医学、从最具关联性到最个体化，构建了疾病与健康多元视角的语义及指标。母亲们将对幸福的追求视为一种健康概念，这让人联想起亚里士多德和斯宾诺莎的哲学概念，但她们更强调无病状态。现行的福利模式仍为解读此类经历提供了有用的参考。鉴于母亲作为照料者的身份有助于理解影响健康与疾病过程的其他因素，因而有可能规划出不那么疏离且更具自主性的医疗保健举措。
