SUMMARY:

Introduction: From the moment the woman is faced with the diagnosis of female 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. Objective: Understand the representational content of women experiencing female cancer. Methodology: Descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach, conducted with 20 women who were at a reference center in oncology, located in the city of Maceio/Alagoas. Approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Alagoas, CAAE n° 23846919.5.0000.5013. The information was collected from January to March 2021, through semi-structured audio-recorded interviews. The information collected was 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. Results: The representational contents of female cancer are related to internal suffering and strongly anchored in representations of death, fear, despair. The speeches pointed out that depression ends up joining these representations, reflecting too much on decision-making regarding adherence and continuity of treatment. The study also revealed that the support of the society in which the woman is inserted and the way she receives the diagnosis can have a decisive influence on the representations she builds about the disease and the way she faces treatment. Conclusion: 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 because they permeate female cancer, enabling nursing professionals to provide individualized assistance and understand all the biopsychosocial processes experienced by women facing cancer.
