This research sought to analyze the perception of social support in women with breast neoplasms, aged between 36 and 68 years in the context of a pandemic in Lima Metropolitana, through intentional sampling. A qualitative study with a reflexive thematic analysis design was conducted, involving sixteen semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that social support was perceived through professional support, moral support, primary support and affective support. In conclusion, it is important not only to provide support to patients through family and friends, but also to provide information, adequate communication, and follow-up as part of the professional support provided by healthcare personnel. This highlights the importance of how patients are treated, as it can affect the continuity of treatment and the attitude of family members, putting women’s health at risk.
Esta investigación buscó analizar la percepción del apoyo social en mujeres con neoplasias mamarias, de entre 36 y 68 años, en el contexto de una pandemia en Lima Metropolitana, mediante un muestreo intencional. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo con un diseño de análisis temático reflexivo, que incluyó dieciséis entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los resultados indicaron que el apoyo social se percibía a través del apoyo profesional, el apoyo moral, el apoyo primario y el apoyo afectivo. En conclusión, es importante no solo brindar apoyo a las pacientes a través de familiares y amigos, sino también proporcionar información, comunicación adecuada y seguimiento como parte del apoyo profesional brindado por el personal de salud. Esto resalta la importancia de cómo se trata a las pacientes, ya que puede afectar la continuidad del tratamiento y la actitud de los familiares, poniendo en riesgo la salud de las mujeres.
