Resumo
O cancer de mama e provavelmente o mais temido entre as mulheres devido sua alta incidencia e, sobretudo, pelos efeitos psicologicos, que afetam a percepcao da sexualidade e a propria imagem pessoal. 0 diagnostico precoce e a maior garantia de sucesso no tratamento do cancer de mama, e a mulher presta relevante contribuicao na deteccao precoce, quando realiza o auto-exame sistematicamente. A pesquisa foi realizada com dezoito freiras (nove de vida ativa e nove de vida contemplativa) de instituicoes religiosas pertencentes a Diocese de Taubate, sendo abordados os aspectos que envolvem o auto-exame das mamas. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, para o qual se adotou a estrategia do estudo de caso. Para analise dos dados, utilizou-se a proposta do discurso do sujeito coletivo. Os discursos revelaram que essas mulheres nao sao informadas adequadamente sobre os procedimentos de deteccao precoce do cancer de mama e que nao realizam o auto-exame. A pesquisa tambem discute a influencia religiosa crista sobre tudo que envolve o corpo, uma vez que a pratica do auto-exame e dos outros procedimentos de deteccao precoce do cancer de mama envolve o tocar e o ser tocada
Breast cancer is probably the most feared among women , due to its high incidence and , above all , to the psychological effects that affect their perception of sexuality and their self image. The early diagnosis is the best guarantee of success in the treatment of breast cancer, and the woman gives a relevant contribution in the early detection when she systematically does the self-examination . The research was done with 18 nuns ( 9 in active life and 9 in contemplative life ) , from religious institutions belonging to the Diocese of Taubaté, and we tackled the aspects which involve the self-examination in the breasts. This is a study of qualitative approach, to which was adopted the strategy of case study. For the analysis of the data, it was used the proposal of the collective subject speech. The speeches revealed that these women are not properly informed on the procedures of early detection of breast cancer and that they do not perform the self-examination. This research also discusses the influence of the christian religious moral over everything that involves the body , as the self-examination and the other procedures of early detection of breast cancer involve touching and being touched.
