Resumo
Comprehensive care and humanization are fundamental dimensions for improving the quality of healthcare, especially in healthcare systems marked by increasing specialization, technological incorporation, and fragmentation of professional practices. This article aims to reflect on the relationships between comprehensive care, humanization, and interdisciplinary care, considering their repercussions on care outcomes and the experience of individuals in health services. This is a reflective article, based on contemporary scientific productions on humanized care, comprehensiveness, human dignity, person-centered care, and the relationships established between users, families, and professionals. The reflection shows that humanization goes beyond individual attitudes of welcoming and cordiality, involving relational, ethical, clinical, structural, and organizational dimensions. From this perspective, comprehensiveness presupposes recognizing the person in their biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions, while interdisciplinarity favors the articulation of different knowledge and practices around shared care needs. It is argued that the convergence of these elements can impact the quality of care, safety, autonomy, satisfaction, therapeutic relationships, and continuity of care. It is concluded that achieving better health outcomes requires overcoming fragmented models and strengthening interdisciplinary practices guided by dignity, listening, and person-centered care.
