Abstract (English): Objective. To interpret the social imaginary of family caregivers regarding the daily practices of preventive tuberculosis therapy in children. Materials and methods. A qualitative, descriptive-interpretive study, from the perspective of comprehensive and everyday sociology. Fifteen caregivers of children who started preventive tuberculosis therapy in four health facilities in South Lima were interviewed between December 2020 and May 2021. The in-depth interview was used as a technique, and a virtual interview guide as the instrument. The analysis was conducted using the thematic analysis technique. Results. Three themes emerged: identifying strengths and limits in coping with tuberculosis; the impact of the social imaginary on sensitive care practices during preventive treatment; and interpreting the social construction of TB and its preventive practices. Conclusions. Strengths and limits were evidenced in the daily lives of caregivers while coping with and preventing tuberculosis. Likewise, in their sociability, they provided sensitive care based on their experiences, beliefs, feelings, and social bonds; they showed relative sensitivity and creativity in the face of the imposition of clinical rationalism. Furthermore, it was found that their ordinary knowledge and understanding of the disease were mediated by fears, uncertainties, and beliefs. Finally, their capacity to interpret and give meaning to the lived experience of the other is highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Objetivo. Interpretar el imaginario social de las cuidadoras familiares sobre las prácticas cotidianas de la terapia preventiva de tuberculosis en niños. Materiales y métodos. Estudio cualitativo, de tipo descriptivo- interpretativo, desde la sociología comprensiva y cotidiana. Se entrevistó a 15 cuidadoras de niños que iniciaron terapia preventiva de tuberculosis en cuatro establecimientos de salud de Lima Sur, entre diciembre del 2020 a mayo del 2021. Se empleó la entrevista en profundidad como técnica, y como instrumento, una guía de entrevista virtual. El análisis se realizó mediante la técnica de análisis temático. Resultados. Emergieron tres temas: identificando potencias y límites del afrontamiento a tuberculosis; impacto del imaginario social en las practicas del cuidado sensible durante el tratamiento preventivo; interpretando la construcción social de la TB y sus prácticas preventivas. Conclusiones. Se evidenciaron límites y potencias en el cotidiano de las cuidadoras durante su afrontamiento a la tuberculosis y su prevención. Asimismo, en su sociabilidad, brindaron cuidado sensible según sus vivencias, experiencias, creencias, sentimientos y vínculos sociales; mostraron sensibilidad relativa y creatividad ante la imposición del racionalismo clínico. Asimismo, se constató que su conocimiento ordinario y la comprensión de la enfermedad estuvieron mediados por miedos, incertidumbres y creencias. Finalmente, se resalta su capacidad de interpretar y otorgar sentido a la experiencia vivida del otro. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
