Introduction: Tuberculosis remains recognized worldwide as an important problem that involves public health policies, requiring the development of actions aimed at its control, considering humanitarian, economic and public health aspects. For every case of tuberculosis, the directly observed treatment must be carried out, as it is not possible to predict the cases that will adhere to the treatment, and it is necessary to build a bond between the patient and the health professional. This is because another important aspect that permeates the pathophysiological understanding of the disease is related to the psychological and social issues that tuberculosis presents, as it is associated with stigmas and representations anchored in interpersonal relationships. It is in this context that the Theory of Social Representations is applied, as it is understood that understanding the representations built about tuberculosis and its implications for the follow-up of treatment is fundamental for promoting health and combating this disease. Objective: To understand the social representations of people with tuberculosis about the disease and its implications for treatment follow-up. Method: This is a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, using the Theory of Social Representations as a theoretical basis. The study setting was the municipal health unit of Guamá, District DAGUA, in the city of Belém. People with a positive diagnosis of tuberculosis and undergoing treatment directly observed in the study unit for a period of one month or more participated in the research. quantitative was defined by applying the data saturation technique. Data collection was performed using two techniques: free word association and semi-structured interview. For data analysis, thematic content analysis was used. Results: from the analysis of the data obtained, the registration units converged into three categories, namely: Representations of tuberculosis and its impacts on the diagnosis; the faces of treatment: challenges in terms of follow-up and hope; and Constructions of living with the disease in the family and society. The ways of living with the disease in the daily work, family and social relationships were marked by concerns and practices related to direct contacts or through objects. Suffering is strongly linked to the treatment routine, which implies a radical change in lifestyle, but also figures as a hope for a cure. The family emerges as a welcoming place; however, there is still strong social discrimination and prejudice marking the social representations of tuberculosis. Final Considerations: The impact of the diagnosis, representation and living with the disease can transform daily life, work, family relationships and society. Discrimination and prejudice have an impact on social life, and denote the need to disseminate qualitative information with a view to reconfiguring such representations so that the patient can be better welcomed and included. Nursing as an active team in this care process must remain present and sensitive to the understanding of these various aspects, contexts and representations that surround them, being also active in public health policies, educational actions and scientific research that contribute to quality of assistance and in the reduction of prejudice.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-06-29) CUNHA, Natacha Marina Farias da; SILVA, Sílvio Éder Dias da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0084512862619143; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3848-0348
Alcohol is a psychotropic substance that has a depressant effect on the nervous system and causes alcohol dependence in those who abuse them, recognized by the WHO as progressive, incurable and fatal disease, but each year is growing worldwide. This study aimed to analyze the social representations of alcoholic women about alcoholism and its implications for self care, outlining its profile and characterizing the images (objections) and the senses (anchors) that alcoholic women have about alcoholism. To achieve this purpose a qualitative study was carried out and the method of Social Representation Theory was adopted. As a field of research for the study we had a few groups of Alcoholics Anonymous, participating in the study 12 alcoholic women, who were attending assiduously anonymous alcoholic support groups. The data collection was done individually, following an interview script with questions of free association of words and semi-structured questions, as well as a socio economic and cultural questionnaire, so that we could know the women who participated in the research. Data collection took place from July to December 2016. In order to work on the information collected, we chose thematic analysis, following six stages in the analysis. At first the data were transcribed, later codified so that it could identify in all other transcriptions homogeneous and significant results for the objective, allowing the creation and grouping of possible themes, the grouping of themes gained meaning in which it could understand its statement, Thus writing the data of this study. After analyzing the data, we obtained five categories that gave life to the categories of discussion: Alcoholization: from pleasure to reified knowledge of disease, where the search for sobriety led the women involved in the research to seek to know the social object that Affected. Woman: her rooted mother destroyed in which we identified the objectification of all the family consequences that alcoholism caused. Demoralization of female alcoholism: search for empowerment where the stigmatizing judgment of female alcoholism is presented, experienced and shared by these women, today seek to deconstruct the imagery that society has built against them. Daily struggles against the pleasures of alcohol, where the confrontation presented by these women is presented, in order to avoid a return to alcoholism, so they avoid avoiding the first drink, but also show that several aspects can contribute to the disfigurement, such as the media; And lastly The representation of self care as the starting point for nursing care where it presents that the search for health care as methods used to care for themselves, lost with alcoholization. Emphasizing the importance of nursing care to promote health education and strengthen self care. However, it is necessary to the nursing comprehension about the problem that involves alcoholism so that it can provide the care that the AA can not provide, that the sooner realized, the smaller the chances of psychological, physical and social damages, thus the greater the chances of Successful treatment.
