Resumo: | Introduction: The diagnosis of cancer affects several aspects, whether emotional, relationships, spiritual and financial, making it an important public health problem worldwide. Objective: To analyze the structure of social representations of cancer for adult hospitalized cancer patients and reveal its relations with daily aspects of coping with the diagnosis and sickening by this pathology. Method: Qualitative, descriptive and exploratory based in the Theory of Social Representations. The scenario was a federal cancer hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro, with 111 participants living the oncological sickening. Free evocations related to the inducing term “cancer” were collected and a questionnaire was applied to characterize the patients. The EVOC 2005 software was utilized for the analyses. Results: Mostly male participants (69.3%), with elementary education (57.6%) appeared as probable core nucleus: disease, sadness and death. The reified knowledge of cancer is given through the word “diseaseˮ. The predominance of negative elements is recognized, although there are some positive ones such as treatment, cure and God in the representation of the group. The current disease carries stigma, making coping a painful and sad process. Conclusion: It is possible to detect the regret the patients express for being with cancer, while hope exists and moves them towards the cure. It is identified the need for the nurse to focus on the spiritual and religious dimensions during the caring process, understanding the individual as a unique and complex being that demands centered care. |

Objetivo: Analizar la estructura de las representaciones sociales del cáncer en pacientes adultos con cáncer hospitalizados y señalar su relación con aspectos cotidianos del afrontamiento del diagnóstico y la enfermedad por esta patología. Método: Cualitativo, descriptivo y exploratorio, basado en la Teoría de las Representaciones Sociales. El escenario fue un hospital federal de cáncer, en la ciudad de Río de Janeiro, 111 participantes viviendo enfermarse de cáncer. Se recogieron evocaciones gratuitas del término inductor “cáncer” y se aplicó un cuestionario para caracterizar a los pacientes. El análisis se realizó mediante el software EVOC 2005. Resultados: Mayoritariamente varones (69,3%), con educación básica (57,6%). Aparecen como un probable núcleo central: enfermedad, tristeza y muerte. El conocimiento cosificado del cáncer se da a través de la palabra “enfermedadˮ. Se reconoce el predominio de elementos negativos, aunque existen algunos positivos como el tratamiento, la cura y Dios en la representación del grupo. La enfermedad actual conlleva un estigma, lo que hace que el afrontamiento sea un proceso doloroso y triste. Conclusión: Es posible observar el arrepentimiento de estar con cáncer en la mirada de los pacientes, mientras existe la esperanza y los mueve hacia la cura. Identifica la necesidad del profesional de enfermería de centrarse en la dimensión espiritual y religiosa en su cuidado, entendiendo al individuo como un ser único y complejo que demanda cuidados individuales.Introdução: O diagnóstico de câncer atinge diversos aspectos, como emocionais, de relacionamento, espirituais e financeiros, tornando-o um importante problema de saúde pública mundialmente. Objetivo: Analisar a estrutura das representações sociais do câncer para pacientes oncológicos hospitalizados adultos e apontar sua relação com aspectos do cotidiano de enfrentamento do diagnóstico e do adoecimento por essa patologia. Método: De natureza qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, embasado na Teoria das Representações Sociais. O cenário foi um hospital federal de câncer, no município do Rio de Janeiro, com 111 participantes vivendo o adoecimento oncológico. Foram coletadas as evocações livres ao termo indutor “câncer” e aplicado o questionário para caracterização dos pacientes. A análise se deu por intermédio do software EVOC 2005. Resultados: Participantes, majoritariamente homens (69,3%), com ensino fundamental (57,6%). Apresentaram-se como provável núcleo central: doença, tristeza e morte. O conhecimento reificado do câncer ocorreu por meio da palavra “doençaˮ. Reconhece-se o predomínio de elementos negativos, ainda que hajam alguns positivos como tratamento, cura e Deus na representação do grupo. A doença em voga carreia estigma, tornando o enfrentamento um processo doloroso e triste. Conclusão: É possível observar o pesar de estar com câncer na visão dos pacientes, ao passo que a esperança existe e os move em direção à cura. Identifica-se a necessidade de o profissional enfermeiro dar enfoque no que diz respeito à dimensão espiritual e religiosa em seu cuidado, entendendo o indivíduo como um ser único e complexo que demanda cuidados individuais.INCA2022-08-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos, Avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/193510.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2022v68n3.1935Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 68 No. 3 (2022): July/Aug./Sept.; e-061935Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 68 Núm. 3 (2022): jul./ago./sept; e-061935Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 68 n. 3 (2022): jul./ago./set.; e-0619352176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporenghttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/1935/1952https://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/1935/2489https://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/1935/2137Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Brasileira de Cancerologiahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDib, Rachel Verdan Gomes, Antonio Marcos Tosoli Ramos, Raquel de Souza França, Luiz Carlos MoraesPaes, Leandra da Silva Fleury, Mariana Luiza de Oliveira 2022-12-15T15:18:53Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/1935Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2022-12-15T15:18:53Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false |
