Abstract
Objective: Analyze cultural care in the therapeutic itinerary of women with syphilis outside the pregnancy-puerperal cycle. Methods: Based on Ethnonursing and using COREQ aiming at the structural quality of the research. Women registered in the Municipal STD/AIDS Program in Macaé/RJ and health professionals who care for women with syphilis were selected. Twenty women diagnosed with syphilis and seven health professionals participated. Data were collected between January and October 2017. Two trainers from the Theory of Cultural Care and an interview were used. The analysis of the testimonies was based on Ethno-Nursing. Results: Knowing the therapeutic itinerary through cultural care implied recognizing the women's cultural factors and the context of the environment in which they live. Therefore, knowing the therapeutic itinerary for syphilis is an important topic, which leads to the responsibility of understanding culture and care as inseparable dimensions of health care. The study has limitations, and it is not appropriate to generalize the results to other locations or participants. Conclusion: In the cross-cultural perspective, adaptive responses for syphilis care related to the characteristics of the social and cultural context of women were identified, as well as reflection on respecting the way of life in caring for women with syphilis.
