This study aimed to discover the representations of the smoking habit in both non-smoking and smoking female adolescents from a high school in Querétaro, Mexico. It is a qualitative research, carried out with 14 female adolescents in 2005. A semi-structured interview and a socioeconomic survey were used to collect data. Results evidenced adolescents know the biomedical discourse, which proposes that smoking causes serious consequences to health. However, there are other symbolic reasons that influence its use such as the search for equality and image, since they think men find smoking women more attractive and mature. Peer pressure represents an important factor for women to smoke by validating its practice and minimizing its effects to the body.

Como instrumento de recogida de información se utilizó una entrevista semi-estructurada y un cuestionario de datos sociodemográficos.Los resultados señalan que las adolescentes conocen el discurso biomédico que plantea que fumar trae graves consecuencias en el organismo, pero hay otras razones simbólicas que inciden en el consumo, tales como la búsqueda de la igualdad con los hombres y la imagen, ya que consideran que para los hombres una mujer que fuma es atractiva y tiene un grado más alto de madurez. El grupo social ejerce una influencia muy importante para que las mujeres fumen al validar la práctica y minimizar los daños en el organismo.
The focus of Mental Health Care in Brazil has been on community psychiatric care services that replace the asylum model. However, individuals with mental disorders continue to shift between community services and psychiatric hospitals, besides becoming a target of the disciplinarization and violence that question the quality of the nursing care being delivered. The objective of this study is to understand the ontology of nursing care in psychiatric hospitalization. Participants were four individuals with mental disorders who attended a center for psychosocial care, who agreed to talk about their psychiatric hospitalization experience by means of a semi-directed interview. The subjects remembered about their psychiatric hospitalization and assigned meanings to it. Heidegger's Existential Analysis was used, and thus generated the Meaning Unit: Being-in-the-world cared with impersonality; which allowed to unveil the phenomenon through Dasein's structure, and thus made it possible to outline the ontological care in nursing in psychiatric hospitals.
