摘要：Health programs offer screening activities for the early detection of cancer in vulnerable population, but record very low participation rates. The authors have a theoretical framework to investigate the complexity of the phenomenon, in the psychodynamic and ethical dimensions, specific to women. In this study, the authors used semi-structured interviews and interpretative phenomenological analysis to explore the meaning-making processes of women who do not practice breast and cervical cancer prevention in Southern Italy neither in the public health-care system, nor in private health facilities. Three superordinate themes have emerged: taking care of oneself would be to love oneself; difficult contact with a sexual body;at the end, the fate decides. We highlight three levels in the psychism that underlie the behavior of not doing prevention: body-> affects-> thought. Understanding these psychic level mechanisms permits to support women's health policy, reducing costs and promoting health.
