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: Objective: To describe the perception of the nurse from the family health teams, of the sanitary districts II and III
from Uberaba city, about the gynecological nursing consultation. Method: a descriptive research with qualitative
approach. For the data analysis it was used the thematic analysis. Results: 26 nurses were participants, being two of
them males and the others females. After data analysis it was found the following category: nursing consultation with
women's integral approach, focused on the gynecological aspects, the disease, and resolution of the service and lack of
return scheduling. Conclusion: the found results reinforce the consultation with focus on the disease. We also
identified that the organization of the health services, focused on the nurse’s productivity, negatively impacts the
assistance to women, without integral approach, what can be minimized through the qualification of the nurses.

Inhalt: "Urbanisierungs-, Modernisierungs- und Akkulturationsprozesse sind als Ursachen von Körperbild- und Essstörungen hinlänglich bekannt. Frauen, die einem westlichen Schönheitsideal von Schlankheit ausgesetzt sind, sind hiernach eher in Gefahr, mit ihrem Körper unzufrieden zu sein. Was zu dieser Unzufriedenheit beiträgt, kann mit Bordo's Theorie des 'Empire of Images' (2003) und mit der 'Objectification Theory' von Fredrickson und Roberts (1997) gefasst werden: Beide Theorien gehen davon aus, dass weibliche Körper in westlichen Gesellschaften als passiv erachtet werden, und dass sich Frauen in der Folge bemühen, ihre Körper so zu bemessen, zu ändern und zu kontrollieren, dass er westlichen Standards von Schönheit und Attraktivität genügt. Die Homogenisierung, Normalisierung und Objektivierung von Körper(bilder)n wurde bisher weder für Immigrantinnen noch in Bezug auf Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen verschiedenen ethno-kulturellen Gemeinschaften untersucht. Die hier vorgestellte Studie folgte bei der Datenerhebung und -analyse einem partizipativen Forschungsansatz. Insgesamt wurden sechs Fokusgruppen, jeweils drei mit tamilischen und drei mit chinesischen Müttern von Grundschulkindern und 13 Einzelgespräche durchgeführt. In diesen wurden neu nach Kanada immigrierte Mütter gebeten, kulturelle Vorstellungen von Schönheit zwischen ihrem Herkunftsland und der kanadischen Gesellschaft zu benennen und zu vergleichen. Für die befragten tamilischen und chinesischen Mütter fanden sich hierbei Ähnlichkeiten in Bezug auf Homogenisierungs-, Normalisierungs- und Objektivierungsprozesse ihrer Körper(bilder). Die Frauen und deren Töchter internalisierten westliche Schlankheitsideale und zeigten eine gegenüber ihrem Herkunftsland erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit für den eigenen Körper." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "The influence of urbanization, modernization and acculturation processes as causes for the development of body image concerns and eating disorders are documented in the literature. Women exposed to a Western idea of 'beauty' as skinny and thin may be more vulnerable to body dissatisfaction. The elements of Western society that contribute to women's body dissatisfaction are captured and described in Bordo's empire of images (2003) and Fredrickson and Roberts' objectification theories (1997). Both theories rest on the assumptions that women's bodies are seen as passive elements in Western society, and that as a result women often engage in activities that measure, modify, and control their bodies to meet Western standards of beauty and attractiveness. Homogenization, normalization, and objectification have not been studied among immigrant women, nor have similarities and differences been explored across ethno-cultural communities. Participatory methodology informed the data collection process and analysis. A series of three separate parent focus groups were held with each of the Tamil and Mainland Chinese mothers of elementary school children respectively, for a total of six focus groups and 13 participants. Through dialogue, newcomer immigrant mothers were invited to define their cultural idea of beauty and to confront it with the Canadian one. For both Chinese and Tamil mothers, the homogenization, normalization, and objectification of their bodies appeared to occur in similar ways. Immigrant women and their daughters tend to internalize the Western ideals of women's thinness; this makes them self-conscious about their own bodies." (author's abstract)
Ausländerdiskriminierung und arbeitsbedingte Gesundheitsrisiken

Inhalt: Zur Untersuchung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Ausländerdiskriminierung und arbeitsbedingten Gesundheitsrisiken wird zunächst allgemein die Entwicklung der gesundheitlichen Lage der Ausländer dargestellt. Dabei wird ein globaler Trend zur eklatanten Verschlechterung der gesundheitlichen Lage der ausländischen Arbeitnehmer in unserem Land gegenüber den Anfangsjahren der Migration festgestellt. In Abgrenzung zu stigmatisierenden Deutungsmustern wird dann der Einfluß der strukturellen Ungleichheit der Arbeitsmigranten hinsichtlich Belastungen und Zumutungen in der Arbeitswelt auf ihre Gesundheitschancen und Erkrankungsrisiken untersucht. Aus der Ungleichverteilung in den Beschäftigungschancen werden erste plausible Erklärungen für die überdurchschnittlichen Erkrankungsrisiken der Ausländer entwickelt. Dabei stellt sich heraus, daß nicht alle Ausländer gleich betroffen sind: Besonders benachteiligt in bezug auf Gesundheitschancen und Erkrankungsrisiken sind einerseits die Türken und andererseits die ausländischen Frauen. Aufgrund der herausgearbeiteten Ursachen ausländerspezifischer Gesundheitsrisiken werden dann Maßnahmen diskutiert, die über die üblicherweise als Ergebnis der Ausländergesundheitsforschung im Vordergrund stehenenden Forderungen nach einer Verbesserung der sozialen und medizinischen Versorgung und einer systematischen Berücksichtigung kultureller und sozialer Besonderheiten des ausländischen Patientenkollektivs hinausreichen.
