    • Abstract:
      This study aimed to understand the way women diagnosed with breast cancer perceive the social support they receive and how it relates to their self-care. Four participants were selected for biographical narrative interviews: two possessed high levels of social support and two possessed low levels. Axes were created to reflect the content of the interviews, such as history of the illness and the beginning of care, self-care as empowerment and as a way of looking at one's self, care, and social support. Findings suggest that a diagnosis of breast cancer plays a key role in the development of self-care despite the obvious health risks and fragile support networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      Este estudio tuvo como objetivo comprender la percepción de las mujeres con diagnóstico de cáncer de mama, sobre el apoyo social y la relación de este con el autocuidado. Fueron seleccionadas cuatro participantes, dos con elevados niveles de apoyo social y dos con bajos niveles de apoyo social para hacer las entrevistas biográficas de carácter narrativo. Se crearon ejes que relacionan los principales contenidos de las entrevistas, como la historia de la enfermedad y el despertar del cuidado, autocuidado como empoderamiento y como una mirada de sí, cuidado y apoyo social. Se identifica que el diagnóstico del cáncer de mama ejerció un papel clave en el despertar de prácticas de autocuidado a pesar de los riesgos de salud y de las vivencias de apoyo fragilizado.
