SUMMARY:

From the moment the woman is faced with the diagnosis of gynecological cancer, her way of life and her interpersonal relationships become objects of reflection and questioning. Understanding the meaning attributed to this experience becomes essential to promote and optimize coping strategies in order to increase the quality of life of women in their biopsychosocial integrality. Thus, the present study aims to understand the social representations of women who are experiencing gynecological cancer. Descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach, conducted with 20 women who were in a reference center in oncology, located in the city of Maceio/AL, approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Alagoas, CAAE n° 23846919.5.0000.5013. Data were collected from January to March 2021, through semistructured audio-recorded interviews. The data collected were transcribed in full and analyzed according to the technique of content analysis from the perspective of Bardin, categorized into thematic units. The Theory of Social Representations was used as a theoretical framework. The results showed that the social representations of women facing gynecological cancer are strongly anchored in representations of death, fear, despair and suffering, causing great internal conflict in them. The study also revealed that the support of the society in which the woman is inserted and the way in which she receives the diagnosis can have a decisive influence on the representations that she builds about the disease and on the way she faces treatment. It is concluded that within the social representations that each woman presents there is a world of meanings and senses covered by common sense, added to scientific knowledge and knowledge, which require a meticulous and attentive look at the theme. Through the knowledge of the social representations that permeate gynecological cancer, it is possible to provide individualized assistance that includes all the biopsychosocial processes experienced by the woman facing the disease.
