Abstract

Objective: to understand the meanings attributed by people with colorectal cancer and by their companions to the surgical treatment with stomization.
Method: an ethnographic study based on comprehensive sociology and short narratives. It was conducted with 22 participants in a surgical and outpatient clinic of an Oncology High-Complexity Center in Pará, Brazil. Collection was carried out between July 2018 and February 2019, by means of observation and recording in a field diary and semi-structured interviews, with subsequent inductive content analysis.
Results: the following was apprehended: Visualization of the bag and the new way of facing their lives; Anguishing feelings; Learning in the post-operative period, the family and instrumental support; Changes in work activities, pleasure activities and threat to leisure and vanity; Personification of the “foreign body” and signs of internalization.
Conclusion: secondary socialization was explained by the concentric circles of socialization. Nursing needs to act by sharing technical-procedural-informational knowledge, informing the sick and those accompanying them of the responsibilities of the macrosocial sphere.
