Resumo: Breast cancer is the main neoplasm which affects women. It brings emotional problems in addition to physical and social problems due to affecting a bodily symbol of femininity. The aim of this study was to investigate the sexual life of women with breast cancer in the first year after the surgical procedure, seeking the meanings they attributed to the diagnosis and its repercussions on sexuality. Ten women who participated in a rehabilitation program were interviewed. In addition to the face to face interview their medical record were analyzed. Two categories emerged from the thematic analysis highlighting the negative and the positive impacts of this disease on the sexual life. This variety of meanings encountered shows that there no single pattern of sexual life after breast cancer. The way each woman reacts to the disease makes the way she experiences her sexuality unique. It follows that issues of sexuality must be incorporated in interventions offered in the context of care for these women

Por afetar um símbolo corpóreo da feminilidade, produz alterações emocionais, que se somam às físicas e sociais. Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar a vida sexual da mulher com câncer de mama no primeiro ano após o procedimento cirúrgico, buscando-se demarcar os significados atribuídos ao diagnóstico e suas repercussões na sexualidade. Foram entrevistadas dez mulheres que participavam de um serviço de reabilitação. Além da entrevista individual realizou-se análise de prontuários. Da análise temática emergiram duas categorias, evidenciando o impacto tanto negativo como positivo do câncer na vida sexual. Essa variedade de significados encontrados mostra que não existe um padrão único de vivência sexual após o câncer. A maneira como cada mulher ressignifica o adoecimento contribui para que vivencie singularmente sua sexualidade. Conclui-se que é preciso incorporar questões de sexualidade nas intervenções oferecidas no contexto do cuidado a essas mulheres.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2013-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/8606Psychological Studies; Vol. 30 No. 2 (2013): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 30 Núm. 2 (2013): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 30 n. 2 (2013): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/8606/6059Copyright (c) 2023 Vanessa Monteiro CESNIK, Elisabeth Meloni VIEIRA, Alain GIAMI, Ana Maria de ALMEIDA, Daniela Barsotti SANTOS, Manoel Antônio dos SANTOShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCESNIK, Vanessa MonteiroVIEIRA, Elisabeth MeloniGIAMI, AlainALMEIDA, Ana Maria de SANTOS, Daniela BarsottiSANTOS, Manoel Antônio dos2024-05-08T18:57:09Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/8606Revistahttps://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:2024-05-08T18:57:09Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
