ABSTRACT

Resumo Analisa as experiências de adoecimento por câncer de mama de mulheres em tratamento no Hospital do Câncer III do Instituto Nacional de Câncer, Rio de Janeiro. Argumenta que parte da experiência das mulheres entrevistadas foi construída pela interação entre a convivência familiar e a mobilização de diferentes significados culturais da doença e da feminilidade, negociando sentidos para entidades biomédicas. O estudo resulta de uma pesquisa qualitativa de inspiração etnográfica, que entrevistou mulheres em tratamento de câncer de mama ao longo de 2015. Parte dos depoimentos para discutir a interação da sociedade com as entidades biomédicas para a significação do câncer no Brasil entre as décadas de 1990 e 2010.


Abstract The paper analyses illness experiences of breast cancer in women undergoing treatment at the Hospital of Cancer III of the National Institute of Cancer. It argues that part of the interviewed women's experience was constructed from the interaction between family coexistence and the mobilisation of different cultural meanings of the disease and femininity, negotiating senses for biomedical entities. The study results from a qualitative research of ethnographic inspiration that interviewed women undergoing treatment from breast cancer during 2015. It draws on the accounts to discuss the interaction of society with biomedical entities for the significance of cancer in Brazil between the 1990s and 2010s.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Estima-se uma prevalência de 2,5 milhões de pessoas infectadas pelo vírus linfotrópico de células T humanas (HTLV) no Brasil, atingindo sobretudo populações negras e de baixo nível socioeconômico. O artigo apresenta parte dos resultados de pesquisa que objetivou compreender a experiência do adoecimento de pessoas vivendo com HTLV, os modos de andar a vida e as relações com o trabalho. Foram realizadas 31 entrevistas semiestruturadas com usuários de instituto de pesquisa em doenças infecciosas. A análise do discurso utilizou referenciais das Ciências Sociais e as narrativas orais constituíram o corpus analisado com o uso do software Sketch Engine. As manifestações do HTLV trazem prejuízo funcional e influenciam nos modos de andar a vida, repercutindo no trabalho formal, informal e doméstico. As narrativas evidenciaram queixas relativas a sintomas físicos e outros problemas de saúde além de preconceito, falta de apoio familiar e expressivas repercussões no trabalho. As condições materiais, simbólicas e subjetivas dos trabalhadores causadas pela perda progressiva da capacidade física e a aposentadoria precoce afetam não somente a esfera física, assim como a psíquica e social.


Abstract It is estimated that 2.5 million people are infected with the human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) in Brazil, mainly among afro-descendant populations with low socioeconomic status. The article presents results of the research that aimed to understand the illness experience of people living with HTLV, the ways of going about life and the relationships with work. Thirty-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with frequenters of an infectious diseases research institute. The oral narratives constituted the corpus that was analyzed using Sketch Engine software. Discourse analysis used references from Social Sciences, with emphasis on the health-work relationship. The manifestations of HTLV cause functional impairment and affect living standards, with repercussions on formal, informal, and domestic work. The narratives revealed complaints of physical symptoms and other health-related problems, in addition to prejudice, lack of family support and significant repercussions on work, namely issues aggravated by the absence of public policies aimed at people living with HTLV. The material, symbolic and subjective conditions caused by the progressive loss of physical capacity and early retirement affect not only the physical sphere, but also the psychic and social areas.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Neste artigo aborda-se iniciativas individuais e coletivas de jovens ativistas em HIV/aids e seus desdobramentos na produção de subjetividade. Teve-se como objetivo compreender os significados do engajamento no movimento social de aids e suas inflexões na produção do jovem vivendo com HIV/aids, a partir da experiência de um interlocutor. Trata-se de estudo de caso integrante de etnografia sobre experiências de pessoas vivendo com HIV/aids que vivem no interior do Rio Grande do Norte, feita com 17 interlocutores diagnosticados há mais de um ano. Dois motivos nortearam a seleção do caso: ser jovem com uma experiência construída em torno de eixos de diferenciação e de enunciação de si e por ter demonstrado inserção como ativista. As informações foram obtidas mediante entrevistas semiestruturadas e observação participante. Por meio de análise contextual, integrada e relacional, a arte como linguagem política do ativismo em HIV/aids se colocou com possível de transformar um "vírus-profecia", maldição que espreita homens gays, em um "vírus-território", lugar de acessos a cuidado em saúde, afetos, trocas e experiências de alteridade. Por fim, destaca-se como a relação entre arte e ativismo em HIV/aids permite a produção de narrativas positHIVas que se colocam como uma Sociologia das Ausências.


Abstract This article addresses the individual and collective initiatives of young activists in HIV / AIDS and their consequences in the production of subjectivity. The objective was to understand the meanings of the engagement in the social movement of AIDS and its inflections in the production of young people living with HIV/aids, from the experience of an informant. This case study is part of an ethnography about experiences of people living with HIV/aids who lives in the countryside of Brazilian Northeast, made with 17 persons diagnosed more than a year ago. Two reasons guided the selection of the case: being young with an experience built around axes of differentiation and self-enunciation; and for having shown insertion as an activist. Information was gathered using participant observation, and semi-structured interviews. Through contextual, integrated and relational analysis, art as the political language of HIV/aids activism has posed the potential to transform a "virus-prophecy", a curse that lurks gay men, into a "virus-territory" as a place of access to health care, affections, exchanges and experiences of otherness. Finally, was highlight how the relationship between art and activism in HIV/aids allows the production of positHIVe narratives that stand as a Sociology of Absences.

ABSTRACT

As questões que fazem parte do cotidiano da vida estudantil não se limitam aos modos por eles adotados para se adaptarem à vida acadêmica, mas envolvem também hábitos e mudanças relacionadas à saúde. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a experiência do adoecimento de estudantes do Bacharelado Interdisciplinar em Saúde (BI em Saúde) da Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA). Trata-se de um estudo orientado pela abordagem qualitativa, optando-se pela técnica da entrevista narrativa. A pesquisa foi realizada com estudantes que adoeceram durante a formação acadêmica. Por meio das narrativas, foi possível perceber que a experiência do adoecimento foi mediada pela formação em saúde e pela instituição universitária, que assume dois papéis: favorece os adoecimentos, mas também possibilita aos estudantes conhecimento e reflexão acerca do processo saúde-doença e cuidado.(AU)


Las cuestiones que forman parte del cotidiano de la vida estudiantil no se limitan a los modos adoptados por ellos para adaptarse a la vida académica, sino que también envuelven hábitos y cambios relacionados a la salud. En este sentido, el objetivo del estudio fue analizar la experiencia de la enfermedad por parte de estudiantes del Bachiller Interdisciplinario en Salud de la Universidad Federal de Bahia. Se trata de un estudio orientado por el abordaje cualitativo, optándose por la técnica de la entrevista narrativa. La investigación se realizó con estudiantes que se enfermaron durante su formación académica. Por medio de sus narraciones fue posible percibir que la experiencia de enfermarse fue medida por la formación en salud y por la institución universitaria que asume dos papeles: es un lugar que favorece las enfermedades, pero también es un espacio que posibilita a los alumnos conocimiento y reflexión sobre el proceso salud-enfermedad y cuidado.(AU)


Issues that are part of students' daily life are not limited to the ways in which they adapt to academic life; they also involve habits and changes related to health. The objective of this study was to analyze the illness experience of students enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Bachelor's Degree in Health of the Federal University of Bahia. It is a qualitative study that used the technique of narrative interview. The research was carried out with students who became ill during academic education. Through the narratives, it was possible to perceive that the illness experience was mediated by health education and by the university institution, which plays two roles: it is a place that favors the contraction of diseases, but it is also a space that provides students with knowledge and reflection on the health-disease process and care.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumo O artigo analisa a experiência de pessoas que vivem com a Síndrome de Berardinelli-Seip no Nordeste brasileiro. Este estudo qualitativo foi desenvolvido com onze interlocutores, sendo nove pessoas vivendo com a síndrome e duas mães. Para coligir as informações, utilizaram-se observação participante, caracterização social e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os dados foram analisados por meio da técnica de codificação temática. Emergiram duas categorias: (1) 'o segredo é fechar a boca': gerenciamento da alimentação na vida cotidiana; e (2) 'ah, é uma travesti?' Corpo, gênero e masculinização. Concluiu-se que na experiência dos interlocutores seus agenciamentos e criatividade se traduziram em estratégias para gerenciamento da alimentação que integravam gostos, valores, hábitos, prescrições biomédicas e prazeres envolvidos em situações de comensalidade. No que tange à corporeidade, evidenciou-se que as representações e as experiências com o corpo apresentam desigualdades de gênero, na medida em que a mulher passa a ser alvo privilegiado de estigmas, preconceitos e discriminação na vida adulta.


Abstract This paper analyzes the experience of people living with the Berardinelli-Seip Syndrome in the Brazilian Northeast. This qualitative study was developed with eleven informants, namely, nine people living with the syndrome and two mothers. Information was gathered using participant observation, social characterization and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed by means of a thematic coding technique. Two categories emerged: (1) 'the secret is to shut your mouth': food management in daily life; and (2) 'Ah, is it a transvestite?' body, gender, and masculinization. We concluded that, in the experience of the informants, their negotiations and creativity translated into strategies for food management that integrated tastes, values, habits, biomedical prescriptions and pleasures involved in commensality situations. Regarding corporeality, it has been shown that representations and experiences with the body show gender inequalities, insofar as women become privileged targets of stigmas, prejudices and discrimination in adult life.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Discute-se a legitimidade e não legitimidade das experiências de adoecimentos e sofrimentos de longa duração selecionados, considerados ou não doenças pelos diagnósticos médicos, como a dor, a fadiga crônica e a "pressão alta", usando pesquisas internacionais e nacionais sociológicas e antropológicas em saúde. As análises dos relatos de adoecidos ou de profissionais de saúde nas pesquisas consideradas exploram o assunto, suas implicações, reflexos e ambiguidades geradas nos sujeitos e efeitos nas suas identidades, nos sofrimentos físicos e morais percebidos, na relação com os outros e com os serviços de saúde. O texto de natureza ensaística reflete e comenta estudos selecionados, concluindo que os adoecidos se movem por ações e significações sobre as experiências com sofrimentos físicos e morais, legítimos ou não para eles, mas que comprometem o cotidiano de suas vidas e biografias, expressos na linguagem e nas emoções, refletidos nas relações sociais e nas identidades de ser ou não doente. O processo de legitimação e deslegitimação destas experiências trazem implicações para o cuidado em saúde, requerendo mais pesquisas etnográficas a respeito.


Abstract This paper discusses the legitimacy and non-legitimacy of selected experiences of long-term illness and suffering, which are, or are not, considered diseases by medical diagnoses, such as pain, chronic fatigue, and "high blood pressure" using international and national sociological and anthropological research in health. It explores their implications, reflexes and ambiguities for the identity, moral and physical suffering perceived by the subjects and in their relationship with others and with the health services. This is a text about select research on the theme. It concludes that the ill persons are moved by actions and significance about their experience with the physical and moral suffering that are, or are not, legitimate for them, but that jeopardize their lives and biographies, and are expressed in their language and emotions, reflected in their social relations and also in their identity of being, or not being, ill. The legitimacy and non-legitimacy of these experiences have implications for health care, which require further ethnographic research.

ABSTRACT

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é identificar e descrever as experiências de adoecimento de pessoas que vivem com condições crônicas transmissíveis. Revisão integrativa da literatura foi realizada em maio de 2015 nas bases de dados PubMed, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs) e Scopus. A partir do cruzamento de palavras-chave e de descritores controlados, foram adotadas oito estratégias de busca, que resultaram na seleção final de 12 artigos. Realizou-se fichamento dos artigos, sendo elaboradas duas categorias temáticas, tendo em vista o agrupamento de temas coincidentes: (1) experiências com as condições crônicas transmissíveis; e (2) estratégias de enfrentamento das condições crônicas transmissíveis. Identificou-se o estigma como sendo a experiência de maior impacto na vida dos sujeitos, o qual reverberou em sentimentos negativos. Apesar disso, os sujeitos adoecidos adotaram hábitos de vida saudáveis, bem como apoiaram-se na religiosidade/espiritualidade e no dimensionamento do tempo como forma de harmonizar sua convivência com as doenças. Observou-se, ainda, que a rede de apoio (família, serviços de saúde) tem papel fundamental na vivência das condições crônicas transmissíveis. Os sujeitos experimentam sensações e sentimentos negativos desde o diagnóstico, seja pela fragilidade que a doença impõe ao seu organismo, seja pela manutenção da condição que os torna mais vulneráveis à discriminação, ao preconceito e ao estigma. Torna-se necessário fortalecer a rede de apoio em torno do sujeito, no sentido de favorecer a melhoria na qualidade de vida das pessoas que vivem com condições crônicas transmissíveis.


Abstract The objective of this article is to identify and describe the illness experiences of people living with communicable chronic conditions. An integrative literature review was carried out in May 2015 in the PubMed, the Literature in the Health Sciences in Latin America and the Caribbean (LILACS) and in the Scopus databases. Through the intersection of keywords and controlled descriptors, eight search strategies were conducted and resulted in the final selection of 12 articles, which were catalogued into two theme categories, in order to group matching themes: (1) experiences with communicable chronic conditions; (2) coping strategies for communicable chronicle diseases. Stigma was identified as the most impacting experience in subjects' lives, which reverberated negatives feelings. In spite of their illness, subjects adopted healthy lifestyle habits and found support on religiosity/spirituality and on the dimensionality of time as a way to live harmoniously with diseases. We also noticed that the support network (family, health services) plays a key role in the process of living with communicable chronicle diseases. Since the diagnostic, the subjects experience negative feelings and sensations not only because of the fragileness that the disease imposes on their body but also because of the maintenance of the condition, which make them more vulnerable to discrimination, prejudice and stigma. It becomes necessary to strengthen the support network around the subject, in order to encourage improvements in the quality of life of people living with communicable diseases.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Este artigo apresenta o processo de tradução e adaptação cultural para o português da McGill Illness Narrative Interview – MINI, um modelo de entrevista para a pesquisa dos sentidos e dos modos de narrar a experiência do adoecimento, testada, no contexto brasileiro, para os problemas psiquiátricos e os relacionados ao câncer. Foram realizadas duas traduções e respectivas retraduções, avaliada a equivalência semântica, elaboradas versões síntese e final e dois pré-testes nas populações-alvo (pessoas com alucinações auditivas verbais ou câncer de mama). Foi observado um grau elevado de equivalência semântica entre o instrumento original e os pares de tradução-retradução e da perspectiva dos significados referencial e geral. A equivalência semântica e operacional das modificações propostas foram confirmadas nos pré-testes. Disponibilizou-se para o contexto brasileiro a primeira adaptação de um modelo de entrevista que possibilita a produção de narrativas sobre a experiência de adoecimento.


Abstract This paper presents the process of translation and cultural adaptation into Portuguese of the McGill Illness Narrative Interview – MINI, an interview protocol that is used to research meanings and modes of narrating illness experiences, tested, in the Brazilian context, for psychiatric and cancer-related problems. Two translations and their respective back-translations were developed. In addition, semantic equivalence was evaluated, a synthesis version and a final version were prepared, and two pre-tests were administered to the target populations (people with auditory verbal hallucinations or breast cancer). A high degree of semantic equivalence was found between the original instrument and the translation/back-translation pairs, and also in the perspective of referential and general meanings. The semantic and operational equivalence of the proposed modifications was confirmed in the pre-tests. Therefore, the first adaptation of an interview protocol that elicits the production of narratives about illness experiences has been provided for the Brazilian context.

ABSTRACT

Aborda-se a experiência com a "pressão alta" e enfermidades associadas postas como sofrimentos físicos e morais na totalidade da pessoa que vive, reflete e atua em meio às circunstâncias de vida que a afetam. Trata-se de estudo de caso integrante de uma investigação qualitativa sobre narrativas e significação da "pressão alta", feita com 17 homens e 20 mulheres diagnosticados há mais de um ano com hipertensão arterial, usuários de uma unidade de Saúde da Família de uma cidade interiorana paulista. Dois motivos nortearam a seleção do caso: estar incluído entre os sete indivíduos entrevistados que mencionaram ter descoberto a hipertensão na ocasião em que passaram pelo infarto cardíaco ou pelo derrame cerebral e pertencer ao gênero feminino. As informações foram obtidas mediante entrevistas semiestruturadas sobre as condições percebidas de saúde, a descoberta da enfermidade, as explicações sobre sua gênese, os itinerários terapêuticos, os apoios sociais recebidos; as relações com os serviços de saúde e outros agentes de cura e o gerenciamento das prescrições médicas. Demonstram-se as interconexões da experiência pessoal e singular do adoecimento com os contextos socioculturais mais amplos, com os valores morais, relações sociais e as representações sociais sobre corpo, saúde, doença e cuidado compartilhados com a classe trabalhadora.


This paper discusses the experience with "high blood pressure" and associated diseases posited as physical and moral sufferings in the whole person who lives, works and reflects amid life circumstances that affect him. This is a case study of a qualitative research on narrative and meaning of "high pressure", made with 17 men and 20 women diagnosed for over a year with hypertension, users of a Family Health Unit of an inland city in São Paulo state. Two reasons guided the case selection: being included among the seven interviewees who mentioned having discovered hypertension at the time spent by the heart attack or stroke, and being female. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews about perceived health conditions, discovery of the disease, explanation of its genesis, therapeutic itineraries, social support received; relations with health services and other curing agents and management of medical prescriptions. This study displays the interconnections and unique personal experience of illness with the broader socio-cultural contexts, moral values, social relations and social representations of the body, health, illness and care shared with the working class.

ABSTRACT

O artigo ressalta a importância da narrativa como forma de descrever as experiências vividas, no caso especial da experiência com a doença. Toma como ponto de partida a narrativa como instrumento de pesquisa. O material coletado na entrevista teve dupla finalidade: servir para treinamento de pós-graduandos nas técnicas da entrevista e para situar a problemática de saúde de um grupo de trabalhadores com diagnósticos de doenças crônicas como hipertensão, diabetes, lombalgias, etc. Buscaram-se relatos feitos em uma única entrevista, situando o adoecimento no contexto da história de vida, visando a captar a "vivência" do sujeito e seu enfrentamento do problema da doença como usuários de um centro de saúde de uma cidade do Estado de São Paulo. Em relação à organização do material, optou-se pela reorganização da história oral elaborando uma narrativa com as informações obtidas. Portanto, esta é uma narrativa da narrativa original que, a partir de uma entrevista semiestruturada, foi formatada como um estudo de caso com enfoque biográfico, com o objetivo de entrever elementos da história de vida, da trajetória vivenciada pelo sujeito em seu processo de adoecimento, assim como de seu itinerário terapêutico. Conclui-se que o trabalho narrativo representa um importante recurso na produção do conhecimento, seja na perspectiva do ensino, seja na da pesquisa e do cuidado.


This paper emphasizes the importance of narrative as a way of describing life experiences, in the special case of the illness' experience. Its starting point is the narrative as a research tool. The material collected in this interview was twofold: served for training graduate students in interviews and placed the issue of health of a group of workers with diagnoses of chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes, back pain, etc. We searched for reports made in a single interview, putting the illness in the context of life history, in order to grasp the "experience" of the subject and to solve the problem of disease as users of a health center in a city in São Paulo State. Concerning the organization of the material, we chose the reorganization of oral history by developing a narrative with such information. So this is a narrative of an original narrative that, from a semi-structured interview, was organized as case study, with biographic approach, aiming to observe life history elements, personal illness trajectory, and therapeutic itinerary. We concluded that the narrative represents important resources to produce knowledge, in teaching, research and care perspectives.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo primordial do presente artigo é apresentar uma metodologia de avaliação de centros de atenção psicossocial, enfocando seu componente qualitativo e multidimensional, e etapas de progressivo aprofundamento, a partir das perspectivas de usuários, familiares e profissionais. A proposta metodológica apresentada e discutida a seguir foi desenvolvida a partir da pesquisa intitulada “Articulando experiências, produzindo sujeitos e incluindo cidadãos: um estudo sobre as novas formas de cuidado em saúde mental na Bahia e em Sergipe, Brasil”, realizada entre os anos de 2006 e 2009. Na construção do desenho metodológico desse estudo, percebemos que, para avaliar a qualidade de um serviço, é necessário congregar conceitos e técnicas diversos que nos permitam uma abordagem que responda à complexidade da tarefa de nos aproximar da experiência (através de suas expressões e produções de significados) dos atores sociais envolvidos, bem como identifique recursos psicossociais presentes nos CAPS e utilizados pelos usuários para significar sua experiência de sofrimento, articulada por “pontos de virada”


This article’s main objective is to present and discuss a methodology for the evaluation of psychosocial health centers, focused on qualitative and multidimensional elements, and steps towards a progressively deeper understanding, from the perspectives of users, family members and professionals. The present methodological proposal was developed for the research “Articulating experiences, producing subjects and including citizens: a study on the new forms of mental health care in Bahia and Sergipe, Brazil”, realized between 2006 and 2009. While constructing the methodological design, we sensed that, in order to evaluate the quality of a service, it would be necessary to congregate various concepts and techniques to allow us to address the complexity of the task of approaching the involved social agents’ experience (through its expressions and sense productions), as well as identify psychosocial resources available in the CAPS and employed by users to signify their experience of suffering, articulated around “turning points”

ABSTRACT

Patient-centered interviewing is to understand and respond to patient's needs and prefers at the level of patient. For practicing the patient-centered interview, the way of communication should be changed in history taking, explanation, and patient education. Story telling (illness narrative) which composes of 5 dimensions such as abstract, orientation, development (complication), evaluation, and coda is the unique and key way to approach the area of patient's illness experience, values, history of life, social environment (occupation, family relationship), and emotion. Narrative gives information about how a story teller views and expresses the event that he/she experienced before, and information about how a story teller positions the self, the subjects of story, and listener's identities. Narrative competence to listen to a patient's story requires several kind of interview skills at the moment of patient's expression of disease history, including skill for composing story, skill for listening, skill for empathizing, and skill for effective questioning. Collecting patient's illness story is not refined to the individual patient. If we listen to the various patients' illness stories, who have the similar disease, and arrange the stories systematically, the patients' illness database can help many patients by the facts in the database and the therapeutic power of the other patients' illness stories.

ABSTRACT

Objetivou-se conhecer a experiência de adoecimento de trabalhadores com Ler/Dort, apoiando-se nos pressupostos da "experiência de enfermidade" e nas "narrativas da doença". Foram utilizadas a técnica de entrevista narrativa e a análise temática para se apreenderem as categorias que emergiram do discurso dos oito sujeitos participantes desta pesquisa. Os resultados apontam que a "ineficiência do corpo" para o trabalho foi evidenciada pelo descompasso entre a produção exigida pelo trabalho e a produzida pelo corpo do trabalhador. O corpo funciona como um "suporte de signos" das mudanças no comportamento e nas estruturas do corpo, ajudando a consolidar o imaginário de incapacidade. "As metáforas" representam o atestado público de declínio profissional e o descrédito quanto à condição de enfermo. Conclui-se que a incapacidade se manifesta precocemente na percepção de ineficiência do trabalhador no processo produtivo, porém sua legitimação parece ser tardia, custando o preço da cronificação e da invalidez para o trabalhador.


The aim was to examine how workers with repetitive strain injuries (RSIs)/ work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) experience sickness, by drawing upon the notions of "experience of illness" and "disease narratives". The narrative interview technique and thematic analysis were used to understand the categories emerging from the discourse of the eight participants in this study. The results indicated that "body inefficiency" for work was shown by the mismatch between the production required for the work and what the workers' bodies produced. The body played a sign-supporting role regarding changes in behavior and body structure, thereby helping to consolidate the imagery of disability. Thus, metaphors publicly attested to professional decline and discredited the condition of illness. It was concluded that although the disability was expressed early among the perceptions of the workers' inefficiency within the productive process, it seemed to be legitimated later, at the cost of the workers' chronic disease and disability.

There is a primary factor of the continuation of treatment as an experience of treatment and being crushed and sensitivity as an experience of the illness. Third, the rehabilitation phase is the time that the patients or their family become tired and insensitive to the treatment and recuperation, and then reduce the treatment activity.
