Speaking of health care, it is convenient to recognize the influence that the meanings that people have generated about health and disease have on it from the interaction with their context and previous experiences with similar situations of their own or others, for which this part of how the health situation is perceived based on its meanings, it is essential to keep it in mind when providing the care that nursing professionals provide to their patients, since the success or failure of the interventions is directly related to observing these meanings. That is why, through Herbert Blumer's symbolic interactionism, it is intended to help understand that the meaning of health care has its origin in social interaction and the importance that this has in order to understand the behavior of people in specific situations, like health care.

For nursing professionals, care planning is important if they want to obtain favorable results for the people they care for, which is why when generating care planning, they should reflect on the subjective aspects that allow the person to visualize the world and that result in the generation of actions or behaviors that favor or harm their health, otherwise the effectiveness of care interventions could be short-lived or short-lived. This situation is what has motivated the creation of this brief consideration of what subjectivity is and how it constitutes the human being as a being in order to understand its implications in health-disease processes.
