ABSTRACT

O universo de representações do sujeito e sua forma de conceber a vida estão relacionados com a maneira de lidar com o adoecimento. Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar as crenças quanto ao tratamento e à cura, compreendendo o sistema de representações veiculadas e transmitidas culturalmente. A pesquisa foi realizada no Serviço de Nefrologia do Hospital do Açúcar, sendo entrevistados 25 sujeitos em hemodiálise. Constatou-se que, apesar da compreensão das informações transmitidas, a busca por tratamentos alternativos foi de 52 por cento da amostra. Dentre estes, apenas 8 por cento não tinham escolaridade. Diante de tais dados, a pesquisa buscou delinear uma relação entre adoecimento, tratamento, crenças e cultura. Observou-se que quando a pessoa se vê diante da doença, busca os recursos possíveis para manter sua vida, independentemente do nível intelectual e do esquema de transmissão de informações, o que reforça a influência das crenças nas condições de adoecimento e cura.(AU)


The way in which a patient expresses him or herself, and the way in which a patient understands life, have bearing on the way in which a patient copes with sickness. This study had as its purpose the identification of beliefs as much as treatment and cure, and the understanding of the way in which expression is culturally couched and transmitted. The study was carried out in the nephrology section of The Sugar Hospital (Hospital do Açucar). Twenty-five individuals on hemodialysis were interviewed. It was confirmed that, in spite of understanding the information transmitted, 52 percent of the sample sought alternative treatment. Of these, only 8 percent had no schooling. Faced with such data, the study sought to delineate a relationship between sickness, treatment, belief, and culture. It was observed that when the individual confronts the fact that he or she has become sick in some way, the individual searches out whatever resources to remain alive. This is so independent of one’s intellectual level or of the way in which information was communicated to the patient. This reinforces the influence of belief in relation to sickness or cure.(AU)
