The family members of cancer patients play a central role as caregivers. This study reports on the perspectives of men whose wives underwent a mastectomy because of breast cancer. This qualitative research used a narrative analysis method, and 17 men were interviewed. Five main themes emerged from the analysis of the narratives: initial reactions to the diagnosis, involvement in caregiving, support received, influence of breast cancer on the couples' relationships, and evaluation of care provided by the institution. The findings indicated the existence of substantive evidence that the spouses attended to and followed the recommendations of healthcare providers on ways to care for their wives, including their emotional demands and care needs. In this sense, the healthcare professionals should interact with a patient's primary caregiver, take the family dynamics and the caregiver's personal characteristics into account, and systematically consider and include the needs of the patients' caregivers in the entire healthcare process.

The purpose of this study was to understand how infant-juvenile prostitution is being explained by researchers through an extensive bibliographical survey on national and international scientific sources. It was possible to access 20 references in full text form, which were analyzed according to the Content Analysis method. The analysis consisted in answering how infant-juvenile prostitution is represented by the author in relation to the concepts, causes, effects and solutions described in the references. It was found that the authors approached the subject as a way of survival, resulting from an unequal society, adult-centered and male chauvinist causing mental and physical diseases in children.

Posto que sois o que está por vir, caminhando sempre pelo mundo do esplendor, revivendo, renascendo, possuindo, crendo; assim tornar-te-á poderoso, justo, inteiro, sensato; como o dito no princípio, no meio e agora; não esmoreça, não se entregue, não se fragmente; hás de vislumbrar, ao final, o quê falta nesta conta, visto que já o podes ver, bem como mostrar-te quem sou eu que estou em todas as somas, mas nunca posso ser somada? Aventura-te agora e vai, ou nunca há de nascer verdadeiramente".Roberto Caldeira -Sabedoria Dias AF.
