Abstract:

The topic covered in the present article, generating employment and income for women with mastectomies, came from the need to redirect the practice developed by the Breast Oncology Physical Therapy outpatient clinic of the Nova Iguaçu City Hall in order to move forward with health promotion activities for service users. Given the dilemma that most women physically fit for work were not in the labor market because of complications of surgery and changes in post-mastectomy care routine, an intervention project was presented to the Health Promotion specialization course of the National School of Public Health, aimed at empowering these women in order to restore their productive capacity and economic independence. Among expected results, we underscore greater autonomy, increased purchasing power, social recognition and strengthening the link between women and other players, thereby creating a support network. The results are in line with National Health Promotion Policy values, such as solidarity, humanization, co-responsibility, justice, and social inclusion.
