Corpos estranhos, mas não esquecidos: representações de mulheres e homens sobre seus corpos feridos

In this qualitative study, which aimed to capture and analyze the representations of the body injured, it were collected, through in-depth interviews, the discourses of eighteen adults, with chronic wounds, users of an outpatient service of a public hospital in the city of Salvador-BA, that cares of wounded individuals. From the analysis of the statements, through Thematic Content Analysis, emerged the following categories, related to the wounded body: It is a strange that promotes suffering; It is constantly watched; It is rejected; It is a prisoner; It is vulnerable to violence; It requires special care, and It is a body in grief. Such representations are anchored in negative images and suffering, and reveal that, very different from the idealized body, the wounded body promotes mixed feelings and self-deprecating. The results showed that people with chronic wounds consider their own bodies as awkward; they experience negative feelings about their image, and mobilize alternatives for self-care andIn this qualitative study, which aimed to capture and analyze the representations of the body injured, it were collected, through in-depth interviews, the discourses of eighteen adults, with chronic wounds, users of an outpatient service of a public hospital in the city of Salvador-BA, that cares of wounded individuals.

Sexual-affective trajectories of people with chronic leg ulcers: aspects of therapeutic listening

This is a qualitative study that aims to discuss the trajectories of people with chronic sores on the lower limbs,focusing on their affective and sexual experiences. Fifty-one adult outpatients participated and they received care at the infirmary of a public hospital in Salvador-Bahia, between 2008 and 2009. Data was collected through techniques that included themed-story drawings and in-depth interviews, during therapeutic listening sessions,followed by an analysis of the content and an analysis of the drawing contents. Three categories emerged solitary sexual-affective trajectory, fragmented sexual-affective trajectory, and continuous or linear sexual-affective trajectory. It was concluded that the limitations imposed by sores influence the subjectivity of these people, leading them to processes of loss of self-confidence, self-deprecation and fear of sexual- affective demands. It becomes clear, therefore, for the need to promote, not only curative interventions for the body, but also to include therapeutic listening and psychological support in the assistance offered to these people.Estudo qualitativo com o objetivo de discutir as trajetorias de pessoas com feridas cronicas nos membros inferiores, focando as experiencias afetivas e sexuais. Participaram 51 adultos atendidos num ambulatorio de hospital publico em Salvador, Bahia, entre 2008 e 2009. Os dados foram obtidos atraves do desenho estoria-tema e de entrevistas em profundidade, durante a escuta terapeutica. Em seguida foram submetidos a analise de conteudo tematica e a analise de conteudo para desenhos, respectivamente, surgindo tres categorias: “trajetorias solitarias”, “fragmentadas” e “lineares ou continuas”. Conclui-se que as limitacoes corporais impostas pelas feridas influenciam a subjetividade dessas pessoas, conduzindo-as a processos de perda da autoconfianca, autodepreciacao e temor quanto a demandas afetivo-sexuais. Torna-se, pois, evidente a necessidade da promocao, nao apenas de intervencoes curativas para o corpo, mas tambem da escuta terapeutica e do apoio psicologico durante o cuidado proporcionado a essas pessoas.
