RESUMOObjetivo: conhecer os sentimentos vivenciados pelas mulheres após a descoberta do câncer. Método: estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório, respaldado na História Oral Temática. Realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas com mulheres com câncer e o material empírico foi analisado pela análise temática e apresentado por eixos temáticos. Resultados: emergiram três eixos temáticos: 1) Entre tristeza e coragem: sentimentos de mulheres frente ao diagnóstico de câncer; 2) Reconhecendo o corpo após o diagnóstico do câncer; 3) Dificuldades enfrentadas por mulheres com câncer: superando desafios. Conclusão: as mulheres apresentaram sentimentos de tristeza, isolamento, de resiliência e ressignificação diante da vida. A maioria obteve modificações no corpo em virtude da doença impactando, de forma negativa, a feminilidade. Dentre as dificuldades enfrentadas, além do preconceito, elas sofreram com a exclusão e abandono após o diagnóstico. Percebeu-se a necessidade de pesquisas que busquem compreender o universo feminino perante a luta do câncer considerando que a compreensão e o enfrentamento da doença são influenciados pelo gênero. Descritores: Saúde da Mulher; Neoplasias; Feminilidade; Emoções; Luto; Espiritualidade. ABSTRACT Objective: to know the feelings experienced by women after the discovery of cancer. Method: qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study, supported in Oral Thematic History. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with women with cancer and the empirical material was analyzed by the thematic analysis and presented by thematic axes. Results: three thematic axes emerged: 1) Between sadness and courage: feelings of women facing the diagnosis of cancer; 2) Recognizing the body after cancer diagnosis; 3) Difficulties faced by women with cancer: overcoming challenges. Conclusion: women presented feelings of sadness, isolation, resilience and resignification before life. Most have undergone changes in the body because of the disease, negatively impacting femininity. Among the difficulties faced, in addition to prejudice, they suffered with exclusion and abandonment after diagnosis. It was noticed the need for research that seeks to understand the feminine universe in the fight of cancer considering that the understanding and the confrontation of the disease are influenced by the gender. Descritores: Women's Health; Neoplasms; Femininity; Emotions; Mourning; Spirituality. RESUMEN Objetivo: conocer los sentimientos vivenciados por las mujeres después del descubrimiento del cáncer.

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand spirituality/religiosity as experienced by people with sickle cell disease, and its influence on coping with the disease. Method: A qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study conducted in the State of Bahia. Twenty-nine respondents participated in semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was used to analyze the empirical material. Results: Individuals with sickle cell disease experience spirituality/religiosity motivated by their hope for a miracle, and fear of death; among their rites are: reading religious materials, individual and group prayer, and attendance at worship services. The effects on their health include: comfort by means of coping by comparing two evils, anxiety relief, social support, and lifestyle changes; however, spirituality/religiosity may be impaired. Final considerations: This study demonstrates the need to qualify health professionals to address spiritual issues of these individuals during illness, with the aims of diagnosing suffering and anguish, and providing care, comfort and strengthening of the spiritual bonds of these individuals.

Silencio, cuerpo y baile propone una mirada sobre los signos utilizados en el baile flamenco, observación que apela a la reflexión. ¿Qué es el silencio? Cómo opera en el cuerpo y cómo el flamenco lo necesita para crear. Aquí se advierte una tensión entre significado y significante, característica que determina el estilo y define el código.Entender el silencio y su uso en el flamenco es traducir el signo, entablar el diálogo entre cante y baile para que ese espacio llamado silencio exista, determinado a la vez qué es flamenco y qué no lo es. Entonces, el silencio se vuelve legible y construye un signo que le da identidad al propio baile.Podríamos inferir que por oposición al sonido -asociado a lo masculino-, el silencio también está asociado a lo femenino, por lo cual nuestro significante comporta un género. Lo femenino y masculino en la danza lo establecen el tipo de movimiento, lineal, recto o curvo y sinuoso, pero aquí el sonido de los pies se establece como mundo habitado por hombres mientras el movimiento de brazos les pertenece a las mujeres. Aunque esta ruptura pareciera ser más una construcción del propio signo creado para el baile, que una cuestión del género de la propia danza. Silence, body and dance offers a look at the signs used in flamenco dancing, an observation that appeals to reflection. What is silence? How it operates in the body and how flamenco needs it to create. Here there is a tension between meaning and signifier, a characteristic that determines the style and defines the codeUnderstanding silence and its use in flamenco is translating the sign, engaging the dialogue between singing and dancing so that this space called silence exists, determined at the same time what is flamenco and what is not. Then, the silence becomes readable and builds a sign that gives identity to the dance itself.We could infer that in opposition to sound -associated with the masculine-, silence is also associated with the feminine, for which our signifier implies a genre. The feminine and masculine in dance is established by the type of movement, linear, straight or curved and sinuous, but here the sound of the feet is established as a world inhabited by men while the movement of arms belongs to women. Although this rupture seems to be more a construction of the own sign created for the dance, than a question of the genre of the dance itself.

Purpose The UK government is actively promoting higher apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships and this agenda has been gaining momentum amongst the various providers of apprenticeships. The purpose of this paper is to draw on an exploratory study on English further education (FE) colleges and highlight some of the key drivers of delivery, and possible challenges that can be faced by the providers in any expansion of this provision. Staff perceptions on the new apprenticeship standards are also presented in the paper. Design/methodology/approach This paper draws on a qualitative exploratory study with ten FE colleges in England. As part of the study, 19 in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with college staff and managers. Findings Higher apprenticeships have the potential to offer work-focussed alternatives to the conventional full-time degree models of higher education, however, the paper sheds light on a number of factors can limit the uptake of higher and degree apprenticeships. Practical implications The paper presents some practical challenges in developing higher apprenticeships and outlines some successful instances of higher apprenticeships which will be useful for those involved in the design and delivery of apprenticeships at FE colleges as well as at other providers. Originality/value This paper draws on research with FE colleges and will be of particular significance to FE colleges and universities that may consider delivering higher apprenticeships. The paper presents insights into institutional experiences and decision-making associated with higher and degree apprenticeships and, in doing so, the paper offers valuable contributions to the body of knowledge in this under-researched area.

Mind–body interventions are a viable holistic approach to rehabilitation; however, evidence for mind–body approaches in hand therapy is lacking. This study explored the experiences of clients with musculoskeletal disorders undergoing two mind–body interventions within hand therapy. Qualitative data were obtained from clients who received mindfulness meditation and sonographic biofeedback as part of hand therapy. Semi-structured interviews conducted after four therapy sessions elicited participants’ experiences and acceptability. Emergent themes were identified through an iterative, qualitative descriptive process. The following three themes emerged as results: insight on the body, relaxation and relief, and I am in control. A fourth theme was identified in the acceptability data, that is, mindfulness as a meaningful activity. At least one of the interventions was acceptable to each participant. Positive participant experiences support further consideration of mind–body interventions as a useful holistic approach in hand therapy to support wellness, quality of care, and participation in recovery.

Abstract Objectives: To characterize the in-service training process of health workers from federal prison units. Method: This is a qualitative descriptive-exploratory study. The information was collected through semi-structured interviews with professionals of the referred services, from June to October 2018. Results: Data analysis revealed that health professionals were unaware of the work performed within these establishments and that the concern of these institutions by the improvement of these workers is recent and marked by isolated actions. Of the courses offered, few contemplate the reality of prison health causing the server to seek knowledge on their own. Due to the violent and confining environment, the health team lacks courses such as defense and weaponry. Conclusions and implications for practice: The study reveals flaws in the training strategies offered by the organization and incipient managerial awareness about the professional and emotional preparation of these workers.
