Abstract:

This is a study on sickle cell disease, a chronic illness that affects many people in Brazil. The aim was to understand and analyze how people deal with the adversities arisingthe diagnosis and the biographical rupture. The description of people\'s experiences and the strategies they use form a picture that expresses the interviewees\' habitus, constructed in a dialectical relationship with the vulnerability determined by the disease. The approach was qualitative and used focused interviews as proposed by Merton, combined with the snowball technique, applied to groups related to sickle cell disease on social networks. Seven participants were ed because they were privileged informants who had the disease, were over eighteen, lived in the Federal District and were non-exclusive users of the Unified Health System. The materialthe interviews was categorized based on the focal nuclei used. The results showed the following categories: biographical rupture, experience and coping strategies, health care. We conclude that there is a need to raise awareness among professionals and the population about the difficulties of the living conditions of people with sickle cell disease and to consolidate public policies and care networks to accommodate this population.
