| description | The present study addresses the experiences of a group of women public health workers from the Rawson Hospital in Córdoba Capital, in the context of a pandemic. This study was carried out within communication as a discipline and field of action, following a qualitative methodology.
By using concepts from the biographical approach, life stories became the instrument used to access the social experiences of the pandemic, collected through open interviews. From a hermeneutic, existential and dialectical-constructivist approach, cultural analysis proposes an alternative reflection a health contingency, from the perspective of female workers.
The analysis of these stories was based on two approaches. The first studies the temporal sequence of experience in three stages of a life story with a specific theme. The second approach, based on chronology, identifies experiences related to the construction of identity as women workers in the field of public health, in addition to emotions and experiences of the context.
The stories show clues that allude to identity and belonging to a group, balancing between identity and difference. We identify factors about the socially assigned double role that serves as a link between the individual and collective identity of women.
It was possible to obtain a direct account that reveals the changing effects of a socio-historical period so relevant for humanity. |

El presente estudio aborda desde la comunicación como disciplina y campo de acción y a través de una investigación cualitativa, las experiencias vivenciadas por un grupo de mujeres trabajadoras de la salud pública del Hospital Rawson de la ciudad de Córdoba, en contexto de pandemia. Al utilizar conceptos del enfoque biográfico, las historias de vida se convirtieron en el instrumento utilizado para acceder a las experiencias sociales de la pandemia, recopiladas mediante entrevistas abiertas. Desde un enfoque hermenéutico, existencial y dialéctico constructivista, el análisis cultural propone una reflexión alternativa sobre el desarrollo de la contingencia sanitaria desde la mirada de las trabajadoras. El análisis de estas historias se basó en dos enfoques. El primero estudia la secuencia temporal de la experiencia en tres etapas de una historia de vida con un tema determinado. El segundo enfoque, basado en la cronología, identifica vivencias relacionadas con la construcción de la identidad como mujeres trabajadoras en el ámbito de la salud pública, además de emociones y vivencias del contexto. Las historias muestran indicios que aluden a la identidad y a la pertenencia a un grupo, equilibrando entre identidad y diferencia. Identificamos factores sobre el doble papel asignado socialmente que sirve como enlace entre la individualidad y la identidad colectiva de las mujeres. Se logró obtener el relato directo que revela los efectos cambiantes de un periodo sociohistórico tan relevante para la humanidad.
