This is an exploratory study with a qualitative approach, which looks at the adolescent process with HIV/AIDS. The purpose is to identify how the adolescent process occurs, from the perspective of these teenagers and their family caregivers. The investigation was performed in Porto Alegre, RS between May and July 2005, and the subjects were four adolescents and three caregivers. Data were collected by means of interviews, which were subject to the content analysis technique. The study revealed that both teenagers and family caregivers did not show concern with the changes typical of the period, especially regarding sexuality questions. Yet, the underlying diagnosis and coping with HIV remain in the family core in order to protect these agents against the stigma of the disease.

<p><strong>INTRODUCTION:</strong> Domestic violence is a continual stressor that motivates its victim to react. The way a woman deals with her husband’s violence determine the consequence of the violent relationship. In the present study, a qualitative approach was employed to investigate women’s reactions to and ways of coping with domestic violence.</p><p><strong>METHOD:</strong> Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2014 with 18 women who experienced domestic violence in an attempt to explain how women deal with domestic violence. After the interviews were transcribed word by word, they were explored in the form of meaningful units and encoded as subcategories and categories<strong> </strong>through inductive content analysis. The reliability and validity of the interviews were measured by an external supervisor.</p><p><strong>RESULTS: </strong>Two categories of reaction and coping were identified through content analysis: passive and non-normative measures and active measures. Passive and non-normative measures included the subcategories of harmful behaviors, retaliation, tolerance, and silence. Active measures included seeking help and advice, legal measures, leaving the spouse, positive and health promoting measures.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION: </strong>In the present study, ways of coping with a husband’s violence among women experiencing domestic violence were divided into two categories: passive and non-normative measures and active measures. These categories confirmed the models of coping with stress in previous studies. Adopting an appropriate approach to dealing with domestic violence is affected by a woman’s capacity and beliefs, the dominant culture, intensity of the violence, available social and legal supports, and effectiveness of evaluation measures. To generalize service provision to victimized women, the type of coping and the reason for adopting the chosen approach need to be taken into account.</p>

Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas em profundidade, no período de setembro a outubro de 2016, tendo como amostra de convivência onze (ex) portadores de hanseníase. A análise dos dados foi feita com base na análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Resultados: Emergiram três categorias: do medo à exclusão social: sentimentos diante descoberta da doença; o discurso do medo: isolamento compulsório e segregação familiar; Fantasmas do passado no presente: marcas sociais da doença. Considerações finais: As percepções acerca da doença evidenciam que marcas do passado ainda refletem no cotidiano social. As conotações negativas associadas à doença reforçam o preconceito e o estigma social, geram intensos abalos psíquicos e promovem constantes isolamentos sociais.Descritores: Hanseníase; Abrigo; Percepção; Estigma Social.THE MAIN MEMORIES AND FEELINGS OF EX –LEPROSY LIVING IN AN ANCIENT LEPROSARIUMObjective: Describe the main memories and feelings of ex –leprosy living in an ancient leprosarium located in the metropolitan region of Belém, State of Pará.
