RESUMO
Objective To explore the relationship between enterprising and magnanimous psychological characteristics and coping modes in cancer patients.Methods Totally 450 cancer patients were randomly chosen to analyze the correlation using enterprising and magnanimous questionnaires and cancer coping modes questionnaires.T-test,Variance analysis and Pearson analysis were employed for statisticals.Results (1) The enterprising and magnanimous psychological characteristics:cancer patients generally got lower scores in the dimensions of enterprising,magnanimous,and total score (59.30±8.09,31.98±6.24,27.32±4.02,respectively) than healthy population (67.44±5.60,34.72±4.57,32.72±3.23,respectively).In demographic level,male and female cancer patients' scores were also lower than the healthy ones'.The higher academic backgrounds they had,the better enterprising and magnanimous psychological attitudes they embraced.In the comparison of occupation,professionals in administrative and companies scored the highest in the dimensions of enterprising,workers in special techniques,commercial and service industries scored higher in the dimensions of magnanimous.All the differences were significant statistically (P＜0.05).(2) Correlation analysis:the correlation index between psychological characteristics of enterprising and magnanimous and the coping modes in cancer patients was 0.463,with a positive correlation(P＜0.01),and the indexes among in the dimensions of enterprising and confrontation were regarded as a positive correlation (r=0.415),and negative correlations (r =-0.139,r =-0.047,respectively) with avoidance and suppression and resignation (P＜0.01).Conclusion The enterprising and magnanimous mental level of cancer patients is lower,which is related to their inappropriate responses of avoidance and suppression and resignation.
RESUMO
Este artigo propõe uma reflexão crítica acerca da crescente participação da mulher na atividade empreendedora no Brasil, no contexto das mudanças contemporâneas do mundo do trabalho. A análise da atividade empreendedora feminina desenvolvida neste trabalho procurou retratar a situação real da atividade empreendedora da mulher brasileira, suas limitações e potencialidades. O presente estudo associa métodos quantitativos e qualitativos, nos quais, por meio de dados quantitativos provenientes da Pesquisa GEM 2009, descreve-se o perfil da atividade empreendedora da mulher brasileira. Para análise qualitativa levou-se em consideração os dados secundários provenientes de fontes secundárias (IBGE, PNAD, OIT, OMS, entre outras) e os conceitos teóricos, tais como trabalho precário (CASTELLS, 1998; CATTANI e HOLZMANN, 2006; THÉBAUD-MONY e DRUCK, 2007), trabalho decente (OIT, 2006) e atividade empreendedora (WENGER, 1998; Lindo et al., 2007; Bulgacov, Camargo e Cunha, 2008; Ramos, 1989; Arendt, 2001). Os resultados demonstraram que as condições de precariedade a que muitas mulheres estão expostas na atividade empreendedora dificilmente poderão ser revertidas apenas com o aumento da participação feminina no mercado de trabalho e como empreendedoras, exigindo também a elaboração e implementação de políticas públicas destinadas especialmente à mulher empreendedora.
This article proposes a critical reflection the about of the woman's growing participation in the enterprising activity in Brazil, in the context of the contemporary changes in the world of work. The analysis of the feminine enterprising activity developed in this work tried to portray the real situation of Brazilian woman's enterprising activity, their limitations and potentialities. The present study associates quantitative and qualitative methods in which, through coming quantitative data of the research GEM 2009, the profile of Brazilian woman's enterprising activity is described. For qualitative analysis it was taken into account the coming secondary data of secondary sources (IBGE, PNAD, OIT, OMS, among other) and the theoretical concepts such as precarious work (Castells, 1998; Cattani and Holzmann, 2006; Thébaud-Mony and Druck, 2007), decent work (OIT, 2006) and the enterprising activity (Wenger, 1998; beautiful et al., 2007; Bulgacov, Camargo and Cunha, 2008; Ramos, 1989; Arendt, 2001). Results demonstrated that the precarious ness conditions a lot of women are exposed to in the enterprising activity difficultly will be reverted with the increase of the feminine participation in the job market and in enterprising, also demanding the elaboration and implementation of public policies especially destined to the enterprising woman.
