They were investigated by the general information questionnaire, General Alienation Scale, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and Female Self-advocacy in Cancer Survivorship, respectively.Results:A total of 203 valid questionnaires were collected. The score of posttraumatic growth was (60.91 ± 12.04) points, self-advocacy was (59.56 ± 12.19) points, social isolation was (36.52 ± 7.79) points of female breast cancer survivors. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory scores of each dimension in female breast cancer survivors were positively correlated with the scores of female self-advocacy of each dimension in cancer survivorship ( r values were 0.219-0.686, all P<0.01); each dimension of the General Alienation Scale scores were negatively correlated with the scores of Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and Female Self-advocacy in Breast Cancer Survivorship ( r values were -0.804 to -0.202, all P<0.01). The posttraumatic growth of female breast cancer survivors affected social alienation through self-advocacy, which showed the mediating effect of self-advocacy accounts for 32.8% of total effect. Conclusions:Self-advocacy plays a mediating role in the relationship between posttraumatic growth and social isolation. Nurses can improve the level of self-advocacy of female breast cancer survivors and promote posttraumatic growth, so as to decrease social isolation.

RESUMEN
Resumo Este artigo visa a compreender os projetos de vida formulados por pessoas com experiência de sofrimento psíquico grave e uso abusivo de álcool e outras drogas em processo de desinstitucionalização em saúde mental. Para tal, foi desenvolvido um estudo etnográfico, com finalidade de identificar interações entre operadores de desinstitucionalização, que podem ser entendidos como processos, dinâmicas ou ações que atuam sobre o cotidiano e a inserção social desses sujeitos. Pôde-se verificar que a tessitura desses projetos em direção ao futuro se apresenta como um trabalho de cuidado de si nos termos foucaultianos, em que são manejadas diversas acepções sobre a saúde, tal como concebidas por Fassin (2000).
Resumen El artículo tiene como objetivo comprender los proyectos de vida formulados por personas con experiencia de malestar psicológico severo y abuso de alcohol y otras drogas en el proceso de desinstitucionalización en salud mental. Se desarrolló un estudio etnográfico con el objetivo de identificar interacciones entre operadores de desinstitucionalización, que pueden entenderse como procesos, dinámicas o acciones que actúan sobre la vida cotidiana y la inserción social de estos sujetos. Se pudo comprobar que el tejido de estos proyectos hacia el futuro se presenta como un trabajo de cuidado de sí mismo en los términos foucaultianos, en el que se manejan diferentes significados sobre la salud, tal como lo concibe Fassin (2000).
Abstract This article aims to understand life projects formulated by people with experience of severe psychological distress and abuse of alcohol and other drugs in the process of deinstitutionalization in mental health. To this end, an ethnographic study was developed with the aim of identifying interactions between deinstitutionalization operators, which can be understood as processes, dynamics or actions that act on the daily lives and social insertion of these subjects. We observed that the weaving of these projects towards the future is presented as a work of care of the self in Foucaultian terms, in which different meanings about health are handled, as conceived by Fassin (2000).
