RESUMO
O câncer de mama gera impactos na qualidade de vida das mulheres. Os efeitos colaterais dos tratamentos convencionais sugerem as terapias alternativas como uma opção complementar. O desconhecimento de outros estudos abordando tal problemática no município de Joinville-SC, sugeriu a execução desta pesquisa quanti-qualitativa que propõe-se a identificar qual a motivação dos pacientes a buscarem as terapias alternativas. Participaram 33 pacientes com histórico de câncer de mama em acompanhamento ambulatorial. Os dados foram coletados em entrevistas semiestruturadas e analisados através da técnica de análise da linguagem e estatística simples. Os achados corroboram o perfil de incidência da doença, demonstram desconhecimento do termo terapias alternativas, porém, revelam expressiva utilização desta modalidade de tratamento relacionada ao conhecimento popular. A fitoterapia teve maior prevalência conforme a classificação do Ministério da Saúde e os fatores motivacionais foram psicobiológicos, psicoespirituais e psicossociais. O estudo sugere que as pessoas buscam as terapias alternativas como um cuidado além do convencional..(AU)
ABSTRACT
Breast cancer causes impacts on the quality of life of women. The side effects of conventional treatments suggest alternative therapies as a complementary option. The lack of knowledge of other studies addressing this problem in the city of Joinville-SC, suggested the execution of this quantitative-qualitative research that aims to identify the motivation of patients to seek alternative therapies. Thirty-three patients with a history of breast cancer attended the outpatient clinic. The data were collected in semi-structured interviews and analyzed through the technique of language analysis and simple statistics. The findings corroborate the incidence profile of the disease, show lack of knowledge of the term alternative therapies; however, they reveal an expressive use of this modality of treatment related to popular knowledge. Phytotherapy had a higher prevalence according to the Ministry of Health classification and the motivational factors were psychobiological, psychospiral and psychosocial. The study suggests that people look for alternative therapies as well as conventional care.(AU)
