PROJECT +IDENTITY
FAMILY APPROACH IN CHRONIC PHYSICAL DISEASE
The This program is intended for individuals with a diagnosis of chronic physical illness and respective families, to increase the adaptation to the disease and promote family quality of life and physical and psychological well-being. The program features a psychoeducational approach, focused on family models as well as an affective and behavioral dimension, providing strategies to better cope with the disease and overcome the difficulties of everyday life at the individual, family, and health care system levels.
It is crucial to put the disease in its "place" so that it cannot invade the family IDENTITY and therefore, the family may contribute to the normal development of all its members and that is precisely the goal of this program!

Researcher and Collaborators of GISEF distinguished with the 1st place at the VI Pan-Amazonian Oncology Congress, Amazonas, Brazil. Rosana Moysés presented the study entitled “Cervical Cancer Mortality of Indigenous Women in Brazil in the Period from 2015 to 2019” and was distinguished with the award for 1st Place in Best Research. This work has as co-authors: Gabriela Sousa, Juliana Viana, Raylson Nobrega and M. Graça Pereira. This study is extremely relevant since Brazil has around 900,000 indigenous people, with a large concentration in the Amazon Region, and the death of indigenous women is known to disrupt cultural and productive systems in communities, due to their important role in the social construct. Thus, when describing the sociodemographic profile of deaths of indigenous women from cervical cancer, it is possible to suggest strategies to raise awareness for screening, respecting cultural and social peculiarities to reduce the mortality of indigenous women. The same Collaborator was also distinguished with the 3rd Place award for Best Experience Reports, in the same congress, with the work: “Prevent is an act of love with you: Audiovisual Content Aiming to Increase Adherence to the Screening for Cervical Cancer in Manaus” by Flávia Melo, Mayara Tostes, Lydia Delmond, Luana Souza, Giselle Ribeiro and Rosana Moysés. |
