Resumo: ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify the experiences of women from two different countries, through the discovery and treatments of breast neoplasms, highlighting the phenomenon based on relationships with socio-cultural aspects.MethodThe Grounded Theory was the theoretical and methodological tool for data collection and analysis, in this qualitative research of which 15 Brazilian women (35-65 years old) and 12 German women (50-81 years old) participated, all in treatment for breast cancer.ResultsThe results revealed differences in obtaining the diagnosis – in Brazil mostly sought from selfexamination, and in Germany, for complying with the invitation letter for mammography. The disease’s disclosure pointed out that cancer’s stigmas are more significant among German women than Brazilian women.ConclusionDifferences between prescribed treatments reveal that Brazilian women receive more chemotherapies, and German women, radiotherapies. Finally, it is considered that some women’s attitudes bring gains and decrease suffering, while others, losses, and stigmatization.

MétodoA Teoria Fundamentada foi a ferramenta teórico-metodológica para coleta e análise dos dados, nesta pesquisa qualitativa, da qual participaram 15 mulheres brasileiras (35-65 anos) e 12 alemãs (50-81), todas em tratamentos contra o câncer de mama.ResultadosOs resultados trazem as diferenças para obtenção do diagnóstico – no Brasil majoritariamente buscado a partir do autoexame; e na Alemanha, pelo atendimento à carta convite do Seguro de Saúde, para fazer a mamografia. A revelação da doença apontou que os estigmas do câncer são maiores dentre as alemãs do que dentre as brasileiras.ConclusãoAs diferenças dentre os tratamentos prescritos sugerem que no Brasil as mulheres recebem mais quimioterapias e na Alemanha, mais radioterapias. Considera-se que alguns posicionamentos trazem ganhos e diminuição do sofrimento, outros trazem prejuízos e estigmatizaçãoNúcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2023-11-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/10478Psychological Studies; Vol. 40 (2023): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 40 (2023): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 40 (2023): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPengporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/10478/7864https://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/10478/7948Copyright (c) 2023 Maristela Júlia FERNANDES, Luciana KINDhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFERNANDES, Maristela JúliaKIND, Luciana2024-04-23T10:36:29Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/10478Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-04-23T10:36:29Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
