OBJETIVO: Descrever o perfil dos cuidadores de idoso, bem como sua importância e principais dificuldades no ato de cuidar do idoso. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de estudo transversal descritivo e exploratório realizado pela equipe PET Saúde, em uma Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF), no município de Ananindeua, Pará. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de um questionário semiestruturado abordando aspectos sociodemográficos e questões referentes a importância e dificuldades encontradas pelos cuidadores de idosos. RESULTADOS: Foram entrevistados 31 cuidadores, predominando sexo feminino, estado civil casado, com ensino médio completo, renda entre dois e três salários mínimos, tempo de exercício da função maior que 12 meses, em sua abrangência cuidadores informais e com vínculo de parentesco com o idoso. Os cuidadores reconheceram que é importante a presença de um cuidador e consideraram o idoso sob seu cuidado como saudável. CONCLUSÃO: A maioria dos cuidadores era do tipo informal, caracterizada por mulheres, com vínculo familiar, que destacaram a paciência e a falta de conhecimento como as principais dificuldades do cuidador. Os dados deste estudo se limitam a uma realidade local, necessitando de mais pesquisas para fomentar as particularidades e dificuldades enfrentadas pelos cuidadores.
Objective:to interpret the meanings attributed by men with prostate cancer to the experience regarding their bodies and masculinities during illness.Method:ethnographic research with 17 men, guided by the narrative method and theoretical framework of medical anthropology and masculinities. The information was collected through recorded interviews, direct observation and field diary records, which were analyzed by inductive thematic analysis.Results:men undergo body and identity transformations when they get sick with prostate cancer, transiting through multiple masculinities, resigning their actions, and occupying subordinate positions in relation to other healthy bodies, which are marginalized in their social relationships and allied with regard to establishing their affective relationships.Conclusion:this evidence enhances and deepens the knowledge disclosed in the literature and contributes to the strengthening of nursing care actions when dealing with the sick.
Objective:to identify, analyze and synthesize the father’s experience in care for a hospitalized child from results of primary qualitative studies. Method:this is a qualitative meta-synthesis through which 12 articles were analyzed, selected in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature databases, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Public Medline, Scopus, PsycINFO and Web of Science, published between 1995 and 2015. The methodological steps proposed by Sandelowski and Barroso were used to systematize the review, as well as concepts from the anthropology of masculinities to analyze and discuss the synthesis. Results:the synthesis was presented by means of two themes: 1) paternal dilemmas - what man feels and faces during the hospitalization of the child, highlighting the emotional involvement and change in the family and work relationship, and 2) paternal identities - masculinities readjusted in view of the child’s illness, which reveals identity marks and repressed fatherhood in the hospital environment. Both themes illustrate the challenges and readjustment of parental identity. Final considerations:to get to know the experiences of the father during the hospitalization of the child and the way in which the challenges for the readjustment of roles related to masculinity could broaden the range of nursing and other health professionals, alerting to the importance of including the father as a protagonist or coadjuvant in the care for hospitalized children.
Approval: 03-18-2017 ABSTRACT Objective: To synthesize and interpret fi ndings and conclusions of qualitative research addressing the experience of the father in the care of the child with cancer. Method: Meta-synthesis of 16 qualitative studies from six databases, analyzed through taxonomic analysis. Results: Child and adolescent cancer have several repercussions on the daily life of the father, especially related to the stigma around the disease, the fear of the unknown and the social and family role. Faced with the illness and the need to care for the child, the father seeks to recover normality in the family and transitions between hegemonic masculine behaviors and practices culturally recognized as female. Final Considerations: The complex experience of the father, infl uenced by masculinities, was evidenced. The limitations regard the restricted understanding of the contextual specifi cities of the experiences, due to the limited characteristics of the parents and children described in the studies. The knowledge produced is useful to promote involvement of fathers in the care of the child, as well as to strengthen and assist him in this task. Descriptors: Fathers; Pediatric Nursing; Qualitative Research; Cancer; Family Nursing. RESUMO Objetivo: Sintetizar e interpretar resultados e conclusões de pesquisas qualitativas sobre a experiência do pai no cuidado do fi lho com câncer. Método: Metassíntese de 16 estudos qualitativos capturados em seis bases de dados e analisados por meio da análise taxonômica. Resultados: O câncer infantojuvenil impõe inúmeras repercussões ao cotidiano do pai, sobretudo relacionadas ao estigma da doença, ao medo do desconhecido e ao papel social e familiar.
