A hanseníase é uma enfermidade milenar que traz consigo a marca do preconceito, discriminação e exclusão social desde o seu surgimento. Durante um longo tempo os indivíduos foram rejeitados pela sociedade, família e amigos e condenados a viver em total situação de privação perdendo o contato com o mundo externo para evitar a contaminação. O estigma se faz presente desde os tempos bíblicos e continua fazendo parte do imaginário das pessoas ainda nos dias atuais. Embora, atualmente a hanseníase tenha tratamento e cura, o estigma e opreconceito permanecem enraizados em nossa cultura e dificultam o indivíduo no enfrentamento da doença, trazendo-lhes sérias repercussões em sua vida pessoal e profissional. Os relatos dos sentimentos e vivências apresentados pelos participantes no grupo evidenciam as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos mesmos, desde a busca do diagnóstico, a conscientização do mesmo, a realização do tratamento e após a cura, uma vez que sua trajetória continua para tratar as incapacidades físicas. A hanseníase deixa marcas profundas nos seres humanos devido às inúmeras perdas decorrentes da doença. Os indivíduos necessitam resgatar sua auto-estima, seus vínculos e relacionar-se para reintegrar-se ao mundo real. Os sentimentos relacionados a esta doença como o medo, a vergonha, a culpa, a exclusão social, a rejeição e a raiva fazem parte do seu cotidiano.Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo2007-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/article/view/3519110.47878/hi.2007.v32.35191Hansenologia Internationalis: leprosy and other infectious diseases; Vol. 32 No. 1 (2007); 27-36Hansenologia Internationalis: hanseníase e outras doenças infecciosas; v. 32 n. 1 (2007); 27-361982-5161reponame:Hansenologia Internationalis (Online)instname:Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima (ILSL)instacron:ILSLporhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/article/view/35191/33659Baialardi, Katia Salomãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-05-19T21:26:13Zoai:ojs.periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br:article/35191Revistahttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologiaPRIhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/oaihansen_int@ilsl.br || hansenologia.internationalis@gmail.com || periodicossp@saude.sp.gov.br1982-51610100-3283opendoar:2021-05-19T21:26:13Hansenologia Internationalis (Online) - Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima (ILSL)false |
