Objetivo: descrever os conteúdos representacionais de mulheres vivenciando o câncer feminino. Método: estudo descritivo, exploratório e qualitativo, realizado com 20 mulheres em um centro de oncologia. Os dados foram coletados por entrevistas semiestruturadas áudio-gravadas, transcritas na íntegra, analisadas de acordo com a análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Utilizou-se como referencial teórico a Teoria das Representações Sociais. Resultados: da análise, emergiram quatro categorias que traduziram os conteúdos representacionais das mulheres, permeados pelo sofrimento interno e ancorados em representações de morte e medo. As falas apontaram que a depressão se une à essas representações, refletindo nas tomadas de decisões. O apoio social e forma como a mulher recebe o diagnóstico tem influência decisiva nas representações construídas e tratamento. Conclusão: dentro das representações sociais que cada mulher apresenta existem significados que requerem um olhar minucioso para se prestar uma assistência individualizada e que compreenda os processos biopsicossociais vivenciados pela mulher enfrentando o câncer.
ABSTRACT
Objective: to describe the representational contents of women experiencing female cancer. Method: in this exploratory, qualitative, descriptive study of 20 women in an oncology center, data were collected through audio-recorded, semi-structured, fully transcribed interviews and analyzed using Bardin content analysis. Social Representations Theory was used as a theoretical framework. Results: from the analysis, four categories emerged that expressed the representational contents voiced by the women, which were permeated by inner suffering and anchored in representations of death and fear. Their words showed that depression is linked to these representations and reflects on decision-making. Social support and how women receive their diagnosis have decisive influence on the representations constructed and on treatment. Conclusion: within the social representations that each woman presented, were meanings that required thorough consideration in order to provide individualized care that contemplated the biopsychosocial processes experienced by women facing cancer.
RESUMEN

Se recolectaron los datos fueron a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas grabadas en audio, transcritas en su totalidad, analizadas según el análisis de contenido de Bardin. Se utilizó la Teoría de las Representaciones Sociales como marco teórico. Resultados: del análisis surgieron cuatro categorías que tradujeron los contenidos representacionales de las mujeres, impregnados por el sufrimiento interno y anclados en representaciones de muerte y miedo. Las declaraciones mostraron que la depresión se une a estas representaciones, reflejándose en la toma de decisiones. El apoyo social y la forma cómo la mujer recibe el diagnóstico tiene influencia en las representaciones y el tratamiento. Conclusión: dentro de las representaciones que presenta cada mujer, existen significados que requieren una mirada profunda para brindar una atención individualizada que comprenda los procesos biopsicosociales que viven las mujeres frente al cáncer.
