Sexuality of Women with Breast Cancer: Analysis of Scientific Production in Nursing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integrative review aimed at analyzing the knowledge produced by Brazilian nursing concerning the sexuality of women with breast cancer, with a view to improving the quality of care delivery. A simultaneous search by word was performed in all the databases listed in the Online Health Library. Ten articles were included, published as from the year 2000, whose authors were nursing professionals. The results revealed that women’s sexuality is often limited to the sexual practice and that only some reports show sexuality as something broader. Women affected by breast cancer have their sexuality compromised and the support provided by their partners helps them with coping and is considered very significant in all stages of the disease. The analysis of the studies reveals that nursing care does not cover this aspect of care and needs to be restructured. This care should be extended to the partners and go beyond the biological dimension. DESCRIPTORS: Breast neoplasms. Sexuality. Nursing. A SEXUALIDADE DA MULHER COM CÂNCER DE MAMA: ANÁLISE DA PRODUÇÃO CIENTÍFICA DE ENFERMAGEM RESUMO: Revisão integrativa que objetivou analisar o conhecimento produzido pela enfermagem brasileira sobre a sexualidade de mulheres com câncer de mama, visando a melhoria do cuidado de enfermagem. Foi utilizada a busca simultânea por palavras, em todas as bases de dados indexadas na Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde. Incluíram-se 10 artigos publicados a partir do ano 2000, cuja autoria fosse atribuída ao profissional enfermeiro. Os resultados mostraram que a sexualidade das mulheres, muitas vezes, está restrita à prática sexual, e apenas alguns relatos mostram a sexualidade como algo mais abrangente. As mulheres acometidas pelo câncer de mama apresentam comprometimento no exercício da sexualidade, e o apoio do companheiro auxilia no enfrentamento, sendo percebido como muito significativo em todas as etapas da doença. A análise dos estudos evidencia uma assistência de enfermagem que não contempla esse aspecto do cuidado, necessitando de reestruturação. Essa assistência deve ser estendida aos parceiros e deve ultrapassar a dimensão biológica. DESCRITORES: Neoplasias da mama. Sexualidade. Enfermagem.
