RESUMO
Resumo Este artigo pretende compreender a visão das pacientes com câncer sobre o processo de adoecimento e os procedimentos terapêuticos que experimentam. Os tratamentos de câncer provocam uma série de consequências físicas e emocionais nas pacientes, assim, estas passam por uma reestruturação e elaboram mecanismos para “cuidarem de si”. A metodologia utilizada foi a etnográfica, desencadeada por meio de entrevistas, anotações em diário de campo e observação participante. A etnografia revelou como essas mulheres, submetidas ao tratamento convencional em determinado hospital, criam tecnologias de cuidado compartilhadas baseadas na sociabilidade.

The ethnographic approach revealed how these women being given conventional treatment in a given hospital create shared care technologies based on sociability.
