The objective of this study was to apply the booklet “Learning better to take care of yourself” to family caregivers of people sick with cancer in palliative oncology care, as well as to investigate the burden on family caregivers and to analyze the correlation between the booklet “Learning better to take care of themselves” with the burden of these family caregivers. This is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, carried out at the Ophir Loyola Hospital Palliative Care Clinic, with 147 family caregivers, in the second half of 2020. For the collection, two instruments were used: (a). Form for the characterization of caregivers and appreciation of the booklet; (B). Zarit Overhead Scale Questionnaire - Burden Interview. The collected data were tabulated, interpreted, processed and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in Microsoft Excel® 2019 spreadsheets, in order to consolidate the information related to the data collected. The built database was organized and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 24.0 in Windows 10 environment, with the results presented in tables and discussed based on the scientific literature. As a result it was obtained in the sociodemographic data that the caregivers are children (67 – 45,6%), female (86 – 58,5%), living outside Belém or metropolitan region (85, 57.8%), have completed High School (63 – 42,9%), are married (74 – 50,3%), mostly housewives (57 – 38,8%) and self-employed (45 – 30,6%), Catholic (71 – 48,3%) and have no income (81 – 55,1%). The average age of caregivers is 40 years old. Being a caregiver was a family decision (65 – 44,2%), exercising full-time care (89 – 60,5%), within a period of 1 to 5 years (69 – 46,94%), and sharing care with someone (89 – 60,5%) usually the brother (58 – 39,5%). The educational technology, the booklet 'Learning better to take care of yourself', achieved 91% acceptability. Regarding the general burden of caregivers, the majority presented Moderate to Severe burden (104 – 70,7%) and there was insufficient evidence to conclude that any of the variable’s gender, age group, health problems or length of care have any statistically relevant relationship with Zarit score (p > 0,05). As a conclusion, the booklet 'Learning better to take care of yourself', obtained 91% acceptability from family caregivers, who presented moderate to severe overload; Through the analyses, it was demonstrated that the acceptance of the booklet has a weak and inverse correlation with the burden, that is, the greater the acceptance of the booklet, the lower the burden presented by the family caregiver (alternative hypothesis - H1) and the burden will not be underwent statistically significant influence of the variables gender, age group, health problems or length of care, in this specific public (null hypothesis - H0). From the scores obtained in the question “do you have a health problem”, pain on the coast and use of alcoholic beverages did not show statistically significant differences. Although the other problems and habits were statistically significant. The Booklet, as an educational technology, strengthens and subsidizes the nursing care practice, legitimizing the continuity of the walk directed towards the new future care perspectives.

A representação social dos enfermeiros sobre o câncer e suas implicações para o cuidado de enfermagem prestado aos pacientes oncológicos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-06-22) JESUS, José Maria Barreto de; SILVA, Sílvio Éder Dias da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0084512862619143; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3848-0348
Presented to the Graduate Program in Nursing of the Health Sciences Institute of the Federal University of Pará, Master's Degree in Nursing of the UFPa as part of the requisites required to obtain the Master's Degree in Nursing. This research aims to study the social representation of nurses on cancer and its implications for the nursing care provided to cancer patients. Interest in this subject appeared when I began to perceive the change in the profile of patients hospitalized at the hospital where they worked, from acute patients (leptospirosis, rabies, bacterial and viral meningitis, among others) to chronic diseases, specifically cancer. Cancer is a disease that first affects the cognitive level of the individual, who after the process of assimilation, comes to understand and fear. For this reason it accepts the treatment, which also implies suffering (mutilating surgeries, radiotherapy and chemotherapy). But when the manifestations of the disease materialize in the patient's body, his previous biotype is altered which translates into signs and symptoms, such as: severe weight loss, loss of muscle strength and others. The disease, now visualized by others, leaves the psychological sphere passing, also, to the sociological one - it becomes a psychosocial disease. Regarding the professional's view, cultural dimensions imply the understanding that cancer is a terminal illness, that is, when the individual is affected by the pathology, however great the dedication of the health team to death is inevitable . I emphasize that this reality is grounded not because cancer is a terminal disease, but because of the existence of a strong bureaucracy present in health services. It is worth mentioning that in the state of Pará, this problem is more pronounced due to the large size of the territory, which makes it difficult for patients to access health services. Cancer is a disease that is widely exploited by many types of research, including those of a psychosocial nature. But I would like to point out that the discussion about the social representations of nurses about cancer is of fundamental importance for a rethinking of nursing about the care given to a patient with a chronic and almost always terminal illness. Based on this understanding, I formulated the following objectives: characterize the social representation of nurses on cancer and analyze the implications of this social representation for the nursing care provided to cancer patients. The study is descriptive-exploratory, with a qualitative approach and theoretical contribution of the concepts of Theory of Social Representations. The work is based on primary sources: statements of nineteen nurses and a nurse, produced from a semi-structured interview and the technique of free association of ideas. I first opted for the application of the technique of free association of ideas, as a way to deepen the themes that emerged in the free association of ideas, I used the semi-guided interview as a second technique. The information was worked through the thematic analysis, which allows to know a reality, through the communications of individuals who have ties with it. I sought to follow the guidance of this author who unfolds this type of analysis in three stages: the first is the pre-analysis, which consisted in the selection and organization of the material, with the realization of floating reading and the constitution of the corpus; The second the exploitation of the material and the third, the data treatment and interpretation. As a result of the consolidation of two thematic units, so-called: cancer a chronic, degenerative, suffering and deadly disease and cancer patient: the experience of a new nursing care. The results evidenced the suffering experienced by the nurses in providing care to the cancer patient due to the frustration of the unreached cure. The implementation of a new care allowed the deponents to insert in their care practice an integral and humane care to this clientele.
