VALENCIA-CONTRERA, Miguel    VALENZUELA-SUAZO, Sandra. Proposal to Protocolize the Approach to Emotional Distress in Research with Human Beings. []. , 26, 2, e2628.   22--2023. ISSN 0123-3122.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2022.26.2.8.

This theoretical-reflexive article aims to draw up guidelines for addressing emotional distress in research with human beings. Using guidelines from the World Health Organization, the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, and, as a reference, the theorist Joyce Travelbee, we propose a flowchart to protocolize the approach to emotional distress in research with human beings based on the formality, rigor, and empathy required by the aid process in the face of potential damage. Thus, it is imperative to have predefined guidelines in any study that, after careful analysis, poses the risk of emotional compromise for participants.
