Despite being considered a potentially curable disease, breast cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer death in women worldwide, establishing the following paradox: high curability versus high mortality. Among the conditions conducive to this situation, such as difficult access to diagnosis and treatment and social support by the State, there is the need to discuss the impact of women's caregiving, the backbone of the female gender role, on self-care in health. Gender has a powerful effect on determining health status: it may limit different rates of exposure to certain risks, different patterns in the quest for treatment or differential impacts of the social and economic determinants of health. The study shows the results of a qualitative methodology with nine women aged 48 to 74 years with varying levels of schooling and socioeconomic status, who had breast cancer at some stage of adult life and who regularly attend a nongovernmental organization (NGO) to support women with breast cancer, in the city of Niterói (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). The participants' discourses evidenced the idea of the primacy of the caregiving, the idealized image of the warrior woman and their self-neglect and State's care as elements of the potential impact on the choices of these women concerning self-care, and consequently in their experiences of illness.
RESUMO - Os efeitos de um evento, criado intencionalmente como condição depossibilidade para uma avaliação da dinâmica das propostas pedagógicas docurso de Psicologia da UFF, são aqui analisados. Na busca de soluções pararesolver o problema de avaliação anual de sua proposta pedagógica, porexigência do MEC , nosso Curso com mais de 3000 horas, mais de 500 alunos, e mais de 40 professores, criou uma Comissão para a elaboração de um eventodenominado Semana da Psicologia. Um evento onde professores e alunosigualmente dividem a responsabilidade de serem agentes ativos nolevantamento de críticas ou sugestões para a melhoria do curso. Durante umasemana, todos envolvidos no curso são livres para sugerir ou elaboraratividades que expressem os valores existentes em nosso curso ou queexpressem críticas ao que falta para uma boa formação de psicólogo. O papelda Comissão organizadora do evento é o de garantir que toda e qualquerproposta que nos chegam serão acolhidas. Baseados nas análises e comentáriosdos participantes do evento, apresentamos nossa análise para ver se estamosou não avaliando dinamicamente nosso curso e se estamos contribuindo para uma nova política das produções científicas.
