O CUIDADO DE ENFERMAGEM PARA A MULHER QUE VIVENCIA CÂNCER DE MAMA COM METÁSTASE ÓSSEA.

Objective: To reveal the meanings and senses of nursing care, from the perspective of women who experience breast cancer in a situation of bone metastasis. Methods: Qualitative study based on Martin Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology. Twenty-four phenomenological interviews were carried out with women undergoing cancer treatment, in a public reference hospital located in the north of the country. The interviews took place in 2017 with the support of a semi-structured script. The testimonies were transcribed and analyzed in two moments: median comprehension and interpretation. Results: Women mean nursing care based on daily manifestations of zeal, affection, attention, concern, patience and professional competence. In turn, the meaning of nursing care for women is revealed in the impersonality and in the existence of the other, when women demonstrate a need to feel welcomed and recognized in their humanity. Conclusión: The results of the study demonstrate similarities in women's life experiences and suggest the need for reflections and actions to encourage nursing practices aimed at being-in-the-world and the different possibilities of care, given their different meanings and senses.
