Abstract

The article aims to promote a reflection based on the historicity that permeates the female gender, starting from the need to understand how the treatment of hemodialysis interferes in the daily life and in the way of life of women diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease, users of the System Health Unit, attended at a General Hospital, in the interior of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in 2019. The method used is data collection through semi-structured interviews, carried out with ten women, nine of whom are currently undergoing dialysis treatment. Therefore, after data collection and its analysis process, it became possible to list the main results, such as the countless changes present in the lives of women, linked to illness and the roles socially assigned to them. As a conclusion, it is noted that physical, psychological and economic changes are recurrent in existing realities and subjectivities.
