| Summary: | Aim: to investigate how sociocultural care practices were constructed among women in a quilombola community. Method: qualitative, descriptive, anthropological research, developed with quilombola women. The data, produced from the focus group technique, were submitted to thematic content analysis, according to the operative proposal. Results: the care developed and shared during the different life cycles of quilombola women were presented. Menarche, pregnancy, childbirth, the puerperium and menopause were shown to be processes that demand specific actions and are made from the existing resources within the family and community context. Conclusions: the care practices were developed from the historical values present in the cultural universe of this quilombola community. They represent actions passed on from generation to generation among women, who are represented as the main caregivers within the home and family context, but also among the individuals who are cared for by them. |
