  • 摘要:

    An anthropological approach was employed to investigate the universe of representations (ways of thinking) and behaviors (ways of acting) associated with Chagas disease in a group of public service workers in Belo Horizonte (both infected and not infected with Trypanosoma cruzi). An attempt was also made to evaluate the repercussions of this universe of representations and behaviors on the lives of the infected individuals. The collection and analysis of the data followed the "systems of signs, meanings, and actions" model developed by Corin et al. (1989, 1992). Sixteen seropositive and 12 seronegative workers were interviewed to compare their ways of thinking and acting towards the disease. Data analysis allowed identification of diverse elements within a context that maximized the limitations imposed by Chagas disease. These should be taken into account in the planning of educational campaigns and elaboration of health care models for Chagas patients.
