摘要

作为一种疾病,癌症在社会想象中根深蒂固。个人从医学、社会和媒体话语中构建想法,这使得他们有时很难理解主题。教育干预的重点是传播有关该疾病的信息,但对其社会内涵仍然漠不关心。本研究旨在确定980名来自巴西公立和私立学校的青少年对癌症的社会表征的存在和时间变化。为此目的,采用了一份自愿和匿名的调查表,以便进行数量和统计评价。总的来说,结果表明,有关该疾病的负面社会表征在较年轻的年龄组中占主导地位。随着学生年龄的增长,这种倾向逐渐减少。社会表征不是静态的,而是随着环境和社会背景的变化而变化的。家庭、媒体和老师是信息的主要来源。在这种情况下,对这种疾病的悲观看法在男性中普遍存在。一般来说,人们可以从三个角度来看待这种疾病。“Destruction”集中于有关死亡的陈述,特别是当家庭成员或朋友患有这种疾病时。与死亡相关的“不可治愈性”观点在生/死和治愈/生病这两个二项的观点中平分。最后,“解决”或治愈取决于早期诊断和治疗。虽然在这方面有一个共识,但大多数人认为这种疾病是负面的,会导致脱发和体重减轻,对女性更严重,偶尔与神的惩罚有关。传染的模糊逻辑作为一种可能的传播手段出现在俗人的话语中。这些发现反映了青少年群体中独特的陈述结构,在某些情况下,这可能会阻碍对预防行为益处的理解。

Social Representations of Cancer in the Perception of Students WhoAttend Brazilian Public Schools
As an illness, cancer is strongly established in the social imagination. Individuals build ideas from medical, social, and media discourses, which makes it sometimes difficult for them to comprehend the subject. Educational interventions have focused on disseminating information concerning the disease but have remained indifferent to its social connotations. The present study aimed to identify the presence and temporal change of the social representations about cancer among 980 adolescents from Brazilian public and private schools. To this end, a voluntary and anonymous questionnaire was applied so that a quantitative and statistical evaluation could be performed. In general, the results indicate that negative social representations concerning the disease predominate in younger age groups. This tendency is gradually reduced as students grow older. Social representations are not static but change structurally, depending on the surroundings and social contexts. Family, the media, and teachers are the main sources of information. In this context, a pessimistic view regarding the disease is prevalent among men. Generally, the disease is seen from three perspectives. “Destruction” centers on statements concerning death, especially when a family member or friend has the disease. The “incurability” perspective associated with death is equally divided among the opinions on the binomials of life/death and heal/get sick. Finally, “resolution” or cure depends on early diagnosis and treatment. Although there is a consensus at this aspect, most perceptions describe the disease as negative, responsible for the loss of hair and weigh, being more severe in females and occasionally associated with a divine punishment. The obscure logic of contagion appears in the discourse of lay people as a possible means of transmission. These findings reflect the unique structure of the representations in a population of adolescents, which in some cases, may hinder an understanding of the benefits of preventive behaviour.
