          Abstract

          Esta pesquisa objectivou caracterizar o processo de enfrentamento da quimioterapia por cuidadores de crianças e, também, identificar sua principais estratégias de enfretamento. Participaram 11 cuidadoras de crianças em tratamento quimioterápico, atendidas em Casas de Apoio a crianças com câncer na cidade de Aracaju (Sergipe, Brasil). No método foi utilizado um roteiro aberto de entrevista, tendo por base o eixo temático: Enfrentamento (da cuidadora e da criança). As entrevistas foram transcritas na íntegra e seu conteúdo foi analisado por meio do programa IRAMUTEQ, através do qual se obtiveram classes de léxicos que, quando agrupados, revelaram as estratégias de enfrentamento mobilizadas pelas cuidadoras. Os resultados revelaram as seguintes estratégias: Esforço e Dedicação no Cuidado (54,6%), Religiosidade como Fonte de Conforto e Segurança para Lidar com a Enfermidade (31,8%) e o Impacto do Cuidado no Dia a Dia e a Medicalização do Sofrimento (13,6%). Percebeu-se, ainda, que o sofrimento resultante da sobrecarga do cuidado pode dificultar o enfrentamento, produzindo meios de ajustamento associados à abnegação e resignação, em que os cuidadores abrem mão de tudo para cuidar do filho doente. Entretanto, apesar do desgaste da situação, encontrou-se também atitudes positivas das cuidadoras frente ao manejo da quimioterapia, tais como ajustar-se à situação, tentar de manter a integridade familiar e apoiar-se na fé religiosa para lidar com as repercussões do tratamento. Considerando a família como fonte essencial de enfrentamento para a criança, em especial o principal cuidador, confirmou-se que esse também precisa ser acompanhado e assistido.

          The study aimed to characterize the coping process of chemotherapy in children’s caregivers, and also, identify the main coping strategies. Participated 11 caregivers of children undergoing chemotherapy attended in support houses for children with cancer in the city of Aracaju (Sergipe, Brazil). At the method an open interview guide was used, based on the main theme: Coping (of the children and of the caregiver). The interviews were transcribed fully and was analyzed by the IRAMUTEQ program, through which obtained lexical classes that, when clustered, revealed the coping strategies deployed by the caregivers. The results revealed the following strategies: Effort and Dedication in care (54.6%), Religiosity as a Source of Comfort and Security to deal with Illness (31.8%) and the Impact on Day to Day Care and the Medicalization of Suffering (13.6%). It was noticed also that the suffering resultant from the overload of care can hamper coping, producing adjustment’s means associated to denial and resignation in which caregivers give up everything to take care of the sick child. However, despite the wear of the situation, also found positive attitudes of the caregivers front of the management of chemotherapy, such as adjusting to the situation, trying to preserve family integrity and rely on religious faith to cope with the effects of treatment. Considering the family as an essential source of coping for the child, especially the primary caregiver, it was confirmed that they also need to be accompanied and assisted.

          Stress, Appraisal, and Coping

          <p><b>The reissue of a classic work, now with a foreword by Daniel Goleman!</b><p>Here is a monumental work that continues in the tradition pioneered by co-author Richard Lazarus in his classic book <i>Psychological Stress and the Coping Process</i>. Dr. Lazarus and his collaborator, Dr. Susan Folkman, present here a detailed theory of psychological stress, building on the concepts of cognitive appraisal and coping which have become major themes of theory and investigation.</p> <p>As an integrative theoretical analysis, this volume pulls together two decades of research and thought on issues in behavioral medicine, emotion, stress management, treatment, and life span development. A selective review of the most pertinent literature is included in each chapter. The total reference listing for the book extends to 60 pages.</p> <p>This work is necessarily multidisciplinary, reflecting the many dimensions of stress-related problems and their situation within a complex social context. While the emphasis is on psychological aspects of stress, the book is oriented towards professionals in various disciplines, as well as advanced students and educated laypersons. The intended audience ranges from psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, nurses, and social workers to sociologists, anthropologists, medical researchers, and physiologists.</p>
