Method Qualitative interpretative research design through hermeneutic phenomenology perspective. Two focus groups discussions were conducted in February and July 2020. The purposive heterogeneous sample included 19 fibromyalgia patients who attended a multicomponent programme. In addition, thematic analysis on the verbatims was performed. Results Findings were organized into five main domains with an explanatory theme each. Overall, the informants valued the programme as a positive experience due to its holistic approach, health benefits, suffering relief, group effect, and fibromyalgia legitimacy promotion. Detected improvable aspects focused on extending the timeframe, including family members as beneficiaries, deepening the thematic contents, and getting regular access to this healthcare service. Furthermore, the intervention was considered feasible to be incorporated into usual clinical care. Conclusion the programme fulfilled users’ expectations about results and procedure and showed promise as a treatment strategy to reinforce the usual practice. Our findings suggest a broad perspective on fibromyalgia patients’ suffering, which urges us to adjust the intervention programme to their real health needs.Victoria Mailen ArfuchAlessandra Queiroga GonçalvesRosa Caballol AngelatsCarina Aguilar MartínNoèlia Carrasco-QuerolMaria Cinta Sancho SolGemma González SerraImmaculada Fusté AngueraAnna BerengueraTaylor & Francis Grouparticlefibromyalgia syndromeprimary caremulticomponent interventionqualitative researchfocus group discussionsMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health & Well-Being, Vol 16, Iss 1 (2021)
