Abstract

Intermittent self-catheterisation (ISC) is an extremely intimate technique and those teaching it must be aware of both verbal and non-verbal behaviour by patients throughout the procedure. The instructor needs to be empathetic, supportive and skilled in the technique, as the patient faces a change in both lifestyle and body image. Psychosexual awareness means being alert to any sexual anxieties the patient may have.

[Body representation in the relation with the self after mastectomy].

This research aimed to understand how the mastectomized woman represents her body in the relations with herself. Social representations were used as a theoretical-methodological reference base. Ten mastectomized women were interviewed at their homes on the seventh day after leaving the hospital and once a month during four postoperative months. The contents of the body representation to the self converged towards four meaning units: a) mutilated bodies, the perception of which was demonstrated in difference ways; b) feeling of impotence at different times in the postoperative period; c) pain and limitation, mainly at the beginning of recovery; d) care with the body. It could be understood that, for the women, the beginning of self-care took the form of an attitude that was developed in practices reflected and taught as a continuous process after the surgery. The perception of the body/constitution/mind/spirit relation permeated every moment of their existence. The results offer important elements for reflection in relation to the assistance to mastectomized women.
