Abstract

This work sought to identify the conceptions of black women in socioeconomic vulnerability in a neighborhood in the Northwest Zone of the municipality of Santos about health and self-care in reproductive health. This is a qualitative research carried out via semi-structured interviews with 19 self-declared black women. Qualitative data were submitted to Content Analysis. The results revealed conceptions about health and self-care that involve the biomedical aspect and a perception of integral health. In conclusion, women consider health and self-care very important; however, they attribute to the medical professional a relevant role in maintaining this self-care, disregarding the daily practices carried out autonomously.
