“…Social support is a multidimensional concept that regards the resources offered by other people in needy situation (10) . It plays an important direct or indirect role in the development of the individual's levels of health and wellbeing (11)(12) . The social support varies throughout the different life stages, i.e., the support received in childhood is very different than that which is needed in old age (11)(12) .…”

“…It plays an important direct or indirect role in the development of the individual's levels of health and wellbeing (11)(12) . The social support varies throughout the different life stages, i.e., the support received in childhood is very different than that which is needed in old age (11)(12) . In its multidimensional aspect, this support can be classified according to its characteristics: direction (received or offered); disposition (availability or execution); way of measurement (described or evaluated); content (emotional, instrumental, informative, evaluative); social network (family, friends, neighbors, work colleagues, the community, and other) (10) .…”

Objective: To identify the perceived availability and provision of informal and formal social support among elderly women in a low income area of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. Methods: This is descriptive and cross-sectional study; done by using household survey with 369 (83.5%) elderly in the community. Results: Elderly women had an adverse social condition (49.3% were illiterate, 71.3% had no partner, 62.3% reported a monthly income of up to minimum wage and 22.0% had no income.) The most common informal types of support were: money, personal care and companionship for locomotion. However, they relied on the care of grandchildren, housing and money. Only 20% reported receiving support from the state or institutions, most of them as basic food. The three main sources of formal supports were: the municipal government, the church and, the state government. Conclusion: The trade of relations had more weight on the side of the older, because the when the elderly cares for their grandchildren, the parents could work and thus increase the household income.

Métodos: Estudo descritivo, de corte seccional realizado por meio de inquérito domiciliar com 369 (83,5%) idosas da comunidade. Resultados: As mulheres tinham condição social desfavorável (49,3% eram não letrados, 71,3% não tinham companheiro, 62,3% referiram renda mensal de até um salário mínimo e 22,0% não tinham renda). Os tipos de apoio informais mais recebidos foram dinheiro, cuidado pessoal e companhia para se locomover. No entanto, elas se apoiavam no cuidado dos netos, moradia e dinheiro. Apenas 20% declararam receber apoio do Estado ou instituições, destacando-se, sobretudo, a cesta básica. As três principais fontes desses apoios formais foram: governo municipal, Igreja e governo estadual. Conclusão: O fluxo das relações de troca foi maior no sentido das idosas para suas famílias do que o contrário. Ao cuidar dos netos, as idosas possibilitavam que seus filhos trabalhem e, consequentemente, aumentem a renda familiar.

“…Such difficulties in conciliate the body altering were, equally, approached in previous researches [21][22] . In addition, can be observed that when feeling obligated to get used to their new appearance, they end up ignoring many motor restrictions of the affected member, what would tend to miss caring, for not performing with safety and comfort, such adaptation.…”

“…There is an abundance of literature which suggests church-based cancer prevention and control interventions are beneficial among racial and ethnic minority populations. This is due, in part, to churches having a longstanding history in the surrounding communities as a strong cultural, familial, and social institution [21][22]. In addition, incorporating a collaborative approach with community-based organizations provides support through strengthened recruitment and follow-up outcomes [23][24].…”

Among women globally, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy and the leading cause of cancer mortality. Moreover, for racial/ethnic minorities and those of low socioeconomic status (SES), these groups experience a poorer quality of life and diminished survival. This is due, in part, to underutilization of mammography screening and a lack of adherence to subsequent follow-up guidelines. The purpose of this study is to gain insight on perceptions of and interest in mobile mammography unit (MMU) utilization among African American (AA) women, primarily of low SES; as well as obtain strategies for effective information dissemination. Researchers partnered with local grocery stores, community centers, churches, shopping centers and hair salons to act as recruitment sites. Each establishment was within a 10 mile radius of the multi-service center being used to conduct the focus groups. Participant eligibility included: (a) the individual must be female, (b) between 35 and 65 years of age, (c) a current resident of Harris County, Texas, (d) self-identified as AA and (e) had no previous cancer history. Sixty-one AA women participated across six focus groups. The focus groups revealed that participants perceived the availability of MMUs as an effective strategy to increase guideline adherence. In addition, all participants stated MMUs would be of interest to women in their communities. Various suggestions to strengthen engagement were conveyed by participants as well. Specifically, offering services during non-traditional hours and in highly accessible locations; and partnering with community venues and incorporating principles of social support were conveyed.
