ROSO, Adriane  e  DOS SANTOS, Verônica Bem. Health Care and Gender Relations: Field Diary Notes Regarding Living on the Streets. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2017, vol.35, n.2, pp.283-299. ISSN 1794-4724.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/apl/a.3379.

This article presents empirical data from a qualitative research which approaches the health of women who live on the street and the transversalities in the healthcare. The data production was supported by participant observation within the streets, in a country town from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The creation of cultural fields guided the analysis: the relation with the Other on the street; gender relations; and relation with the healthcare services. The data interpretation was based on a psychosocial perspective and on authors that study homeless population. The conclusion indicated that the observed women living on the street represent a very diverse population in its characteristics and complex in its needs, demanding care that takes into account a variety of transversalities, especially those which refer to interactions and relations established within its boundaries.

Palavras-chave : public health; women; homeless persons; integrality in health.
