SUMMARY:

Among chronic non-communicable diseases, breast cancer is the most diagnosed among women in the world and in Brazil. It is known that social inequalities influence the prognosis, and therefore, health promotion and disease prevention actions need to address the Social Determinants of Health (SDH). In screening for the disease, mammography is used, however, it is observed that some barriers may influence its performance, such as: knowledge about the disease, discomfort and fear of the test being positive, individual aspects such as race, education and socioeconomic class , etc. This is a field research, descriptive exploratory and qualitative approach, which aims to analyze the look of women on screening mammography. The study took place at the specialized outpatient clinic of Maternidade Escola Januário Cicco and data were collected through interviews with a semi-structured script with women aged 50 to 69 years. The data from the interviews were coded, summarized, systematized and analyzed using the ATLAS.ti desktop version software, using Bardin's Thematic Analysis as an analysis technique, originating three categories of analysis: Access to the mammography exam; Knowledge regarding mammography examination; and Experiences when performing the mammography exam. The speeches reported facilities and barriers to access the exam and as a way to overcome the challenges, women have resorted to the private sector. There is a distorted perception of the test as a form of prevention, however, it was also found that the test seeks early detection of cancer. Experiences in performing the exam vary from quiet moments to the most traumatic ones, especially due to the discomfort of pain. The absence of pain, having breastfed and the practice of breast self-examination were reasons for postponing the examination. It is observed that the SDH have influenced this scenario, where, depending on aspects such as income, education and race, different realities of the exam are obtained. Prevention and health promotion actions need to act on the SDH in order to overcome inequalities in performing the test. As a technical product, a booklet was created based on the identified weaknesses of the users, which will be made available to the institution as a resource for intervention in the approaches of its professionals. It is pointed out as a limitation of the research its execution in a specialized outpatient clinic and the realization of the study in a broader context, such as in primary care, may bring other contributions.
