Construcción de la experiencia de cáncer: narrativas que Favorecen la re-construcción de la experiencia y las relaciones

Abstract

The following thesis was framed in the research line “Psychology, family and human systems”, whose objective was understand family dynamics which was organized in the narratives of a person with Cancer Diagnosis, her family and clinical institution Jorge Piñeros Corpas about the chronic disease experience, in order to allow emerge alternate stories that enable the re-building of that experience. The paradigmatical and epistemological bases that support this thesis was approached from the complex look, the sistemic theories, constructionism, constructivism, second-order cybernetics and ontology language, therefore, the methodology used for this investigative-interventive process was the second-order qualitative research, where was performed reflective conversational scenarios with the actors above-named. Those scenarios, made possible the experience narrative construction, toward a recursive and generative look, being language the main tool. Agree with this, the categories proposed to achieve those objectives were: Narrative construction and familiar dynamic, using chronic disease as transverse axis; this categories was approached from the narratives elements: History, memory and alternate speech. This allowed us to recognize the dominant speeches at first to be questioned, expanded and enriched later, through the atypical speeches which enable the emerge of alternate speeches that allowed the construction of cancer experience through immersed multiple voices in that construction, recognizing the methodological design as a powerful interventive tool in the work with this phenomenon.
