- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the frequency of self-care activities in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and their association with clinical control. Method: this is a quantitative, analytical study in five Family Health Strategies, with 86 individuals. Data was collected using a form and a Diabetes Self-Care Activity Questionnaire. Data was analyzed using IBM® Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20.0. Results: it was observed, considering self-care, a satisfactory result for the ingestion of sweets and medication use and unsatisfactory for the other activities. A low percentage of smoking was found. The frequency of self-care activities was significantly associated with time since diagnosis, type of medication and capillary blood glucose. Conclusion: the results were led to an unsatisfactory selfcare profile that influences poor clinical control of T2DM. It was also allowed to evaluate the importance of self-care in the metabolic control of DM2, serving as a subsidy for the development of coping strategies.
