Inhalt: Healthcare has long been a gendered enterprise, with women taking responsibility for maintaining health and engaging with service providers. Universal healthcare provision notwithstanding, women nonetheless undertake a range of healthcare work, on their own account and on behalf of others, which remains largely invisible. As part of a multi-method comparative European study that looked at access to healthcare in diverse neighbourhoods from the point of view of people's own health priorities, the concept of "healthcare bricolage" describes the process of mobilizing resources and overcoming constraints to meet particular health needs. Bricolage mediates between different kinds of resources to meet particular challenges and describing these processes makes visible that work which has been unseen, over-looked and naturalised, as part of a gendered caring role. Drawing on 160 semi-structured interviews and a survey with 1,755 residents of highly diverse neighbourhoods in Germany, UK, Sweden and Portugal, this article illustrates the gendered nature of healthcare bricolage. The complex variations of women's bricolage within and beyond the public healthcare system show how gendered caring roles intersect with migration status and social class in the context of particular healthcare systems.

Inhalt: Objective: the objective of this study is (re) thinking health actions transiting in that territory, and, in fact, such actions include the entire universe of feelings, doubts and uncertainties that permeate male thinking when it comes to the rectal exam. Method: the method is the design of test characterized as a reflective exercise on a theme, seeking a new way of looking at the subject. Results: masculinity is constructed by the influence of the social imaginary, and cannot ignore symbolic aspects that affect the decision to take the examination. This examination does not only affect the prostate, it touches on the symbolism of the aspects of what is "being a man". Conclusion: it is for health professionals to understand what happens in the "man's world" in order to think about health actions to reduce morbidity and mortality rates of this disease that has been affecting the health and quality of life of men.

Inhalt: Objective: To describe the women's perception in a stable relationship, about the female vulnerability to acquire Aids. Method: Descriptive, qualitative research accomplished in 2008 in a University Campus in Rio de Janeiro. Interviews were carried out with 15 women, who declare themselves as in a stable relationship, of different educational levels, ethnic origins and religions. The study complied with the requirements of the National Research Ethics Committee. For data analysis was used the content analysis. Results: The interviewees considerated women in stable relationship vulnerable when trusting the partner, for not using preservative and for the lack of information. Taboos and shame were showed as obstacles for prevention. Conclusion: It was evidenced that the interviewees recognize the other women as vulnerable since they exclude themselves from vulnerable groups. One of the challenges for AIDS prevention is to revert this low perception related to risk of these women.

Inhalt: Objective: To discuss the social representations of women with chronic wounds about being a woman and having a body injured and the implications of these representations on social relations. Methods: Qualitative research with women with chronic wounds, attended at health units in Bahia who answered the interview in depth and draft-story theme. The data were submitted to thematic content analysis. Results: Representations about being a woman and having a wounded body are centered on ideas and experiences that reveal stigma, pain, sadness, loneliness, irritation, dependence, and the need to approach God. Conclusion: The representations of the participants interfere in the way of dressing, of relating to oneself and to the people in their surroundings implying in isolation and solitude. Representations reproduce stigmas about body image that do not meet socially and culturally determined beauty and health criteria.

Inhalt: Objective: to analyze, based on Systematic Literature Review, the perception of women who underwent mastectomy due to breast cancer about their relationship with their social group. Method: it is a descriptive study, which is classified as a Systematic Literature Review, performed in 2010, in which the following steps were conducted: the protocol construction; the definition of the guiding question of the study; the search for studies; the selection of studies; the critical assessment of studies; and the synthesis of data. Ultimately, we have selected 15 papers. Results: in most of the families, due to the situation of the mastectomy, it was verified a great union among the family members and, consequently, a better confrontation of the situation. Nevertheless, it was also verified the existence of family disaggregation, withdrawal of friends, sexual partner or of the woman itself, since there are no understanding and comprehension of the problem. Conclusion: The research has revealed that the dialogue among people who are significant for the woman contributes in the treatment and in the perception about the lived experience.

Inhalt: "Frauen spenden wesentlich häufiger Organe, während Männer häufiger Organe empfangen. Wie sich dieses Geschlechterverhältnis in der Lebendorganspende begründet, ist bisher wenig erforscht. Ziel des Beitrags bildet die Entwicklung einer Genderperspektive auf die Lebendorganspende. Unsere These lautet, dass Lebendorganspenden eine ambivalente und vergeschlechtlichte Praxis der (Re)Produktion darstellen. Mit Rückgriff auf Marx und seine geschlechtersoziologischen Kritiken sowie anknüpfend an bioökonomische Arbeiten erarbeiten die Autorinnen ein doppeltes Verständnis von (Re-)Produktion als Selbst- und Fürsorge und als eine (Wieder-)Herstellung von Lebensprozessen. Auf der Basis von qualitativen Interviews wird rekonstruiert, wie Betroffene einer Lebendorganspende auf (Re-)Produktion Bezug nehmen. Eine Lebendorganspende umfasst nicht nur den singulären Akt der Transplantation, so unser Fazit, sondern bildet eine Herausforderung für das Verhältnis von Körper, Arbeit und Leben aller Beteiligten."

Inhalt: "Women are more likely to donate organs, while men are more likely to receive organs. So far, little research has been done into the reason for this gender disparity in regard to living organ donation. This article aims to develop a gender perspective on living organ donation. The authoresses argue that living organ donation should be understood as an ambivalent and gendered practice of (re)production. Based on Marx, feminist criticisms on his work and bioeconomic studies, they develop a dual understanding of (re)production as a form of care and (re)building of life processes. Based on qualitative interviews they reconstruct how the involved living organ donors relate to (re)production. The authoresses conclude that living organ donation should not be limited to the individual act of transplantation, but should be understood as a challenge for the relationship between the body, work and life of all those involved."
