Abstract
This study aims to report an experience of a patients association for emancipation and care
with their disease. Case experience with directors of a rheumatic disease association. Was a
semi-structured interview that followed guiding questions with following themes: circular
economy and patient associations, patient-disease aspects and associations, association
interventions and disease-related aspects. Circular economy in conjunction with patient
associations aims to assist and facilitate access to treatments and reduce economic impacts,
therefore seeking the quality of life of these patients. The understanding and prognosis of
rheumatic diseases depend on different variables that often escape perspectives that
encompass disease and have variables resulting from the chronicity condition. Patient
associations can collaborate with fundamental support through their interventions and
knowledge about daily life and aspects related to the disease. Circular economy, as well as
the health and perspectives of patients, should be focused on effectively improving
biopsychosocial patterns that interfere in disease process and environment. New studies must
be carried out so that there is a greater understanding economic and social environment that
permeates the population's health and disease conditions.
