This study discusses the relationship between work and living conditions among leprosy patients enrolled in the São Paulo municipal public health system in 1996. Social patterns were studied based on the theory of social determination of the health-disease process. The main purpose of the study was to emphasize evidence of the disease determination network, seeking new knowledge to improve public policies on leprosy. Data were gathered from a sample of leprosy patients registered in the city's public health system. Although patients' families are characterized by a common social thread, different work/life possibilities allow for a classification of patients into three social groups. The majority belong to groups that are marginalized from social production, living in areas where social exclusion is more extreme, on the outskirts of the city. If the trends in this study persist, incident leprosy cases will result from the social exclusion of migrants from Brazil's Southeast and Northeast. The study also discusses the position of young people and female patients in the determination network of this infectious disease in the city of São Paulo.
Pretende-se refletir neste artigo a respeito da transição ou ruptura paradigmática e da premência de investigações que privilegiem a essência da subjetividade. Projeta-se uma ideia de transformação, de mutação de áreas do conhecimento diante das novidades da cultura pós-moderna. Uma das definições que se atribui à pós-modernidade é a sinergia entre o arcaísmo e o desenvolvimento tecnológico. Os estudos da subjetividade pressupõem a incursão num referencial epistemológico diverso do modelo clássico positivista. Uma prática social como a Enfermagem voltada para o cuidado de pessoas que sofrem alterações do processo saúde-doença, deve necessariamente compreender e problematizar os modos de subjetivação, as novas concepções de sujeito e de conhecimento do que é humano. A questão epistemológica diz respeito à incursão das ações de cuidado para um território de contestação onde seja possível intercambiar a racionalidade com o sensível diante de significados culturais.
The purpose of this study was to identify leprosy patients' psychosocial problems experienced after they were informed about their diagnosis. We focused attention upon concerns and behavioral changes related to their families, friends, jobs and to themselves. Data were obtained by a two opened questions interview and they were analysed with the aid of artificial intelligence techniques. These intelligence tools were used to discover the most frequent words, phrases and concepts existing in the interview reports. The results showed that after being informed about their diagnosis, the majority of the patients referred some concerns and behavioral changes related to their families, friends, jobs and to themselves. The main concerns of the population were related to the disease (transmission, the treatment extension, the possibility of hospitalization, the uncertainty about the cure). These facts induced some of the patients to avoid telling people about the disease they have.
