Resumo:
Este estudo realiza uma revisão sistemática da pesquisa sobre práticas de cuidado de autores/as africanos/as com uma perspectiva feminista. A questão de pesquisa foi desenvolvida por meio da estratégia conhecida com o acrônimo PICo: participantes, fenômeno de interesse e contexto. No nosso caso, são mulheres, feminismo e práticas de cuidado e a África Subsaariana, respectivamente. Após o processo de filtragem dos 102 artigos selecionados, 20 estudos preencheram os critérios de inclusão. Eles foram organizados em três grandes categorías, usando análise temática: epidemia de HIV; crise de reprodução social e cuidados afro-comunitários. Os trabalhos examinados exploram práticas culturais e papéis tradicionais de gênero como fatores de risco ou proteção para a contração do HIV; a sobrecarga de trabalho que as mulheres africanas enfrentam em relação à crise da reprodução social; e as propostas afro-comunitárias em relação os cuidados.

The first step was the identification of articles found in different databases, 114 and 185 in AfricaBib; 22 in Pubmed; 16 in Psychinfo; 84 in Africa Wide Information; and 44 in Scopus. The second step was screening. Applying the PICo: Women, Care & Feminism, Sub-saharian Africa; we select 102 articles after removing 14 duplicated. Third step was eligibility. Applying the exclusion and the inclusion criteria, we find 30 articles eligible, 65 not eligible and 6 not reviewable. In the fourth and last phase, included, we resumed each of the 30 eligible articles with an analysis sheet and then we included 16 article and excluded 14. After that, we addes 4 articles through a snowball of included article references. Finally, we selected 20 articles for the review. The materials analyzed in this review are qualitative studies: case studies, ethnographic studies, substantiated theories, participatory action research, narrative analysis and studies of feminist critique. The review focuses on scientific articles, excluding books and grey literature, due to the difficulty of systematizing them. The selected articles were published between 2007 and the first quarter of 2018. Regarding the authorship of the articles, to determine whether the research met the requirement of being produced by African author(s) both the current institutional affiliation of the authors as well as their life stories were taken into account. Authors affiliated to African institutions and researchers with African origins educated in African countries but currently enrolled in institutions outside the continent were included.
