- Abstract
Objective: To analyze attitudes towards self-care of people with type 2 diabetes in Primary Care. Methods: This is a descriptive-exploratory study, conducted with 18 people with type 2 diabetes linked to two Basic Health Units, who participated in interviews and focus groups. Text content was processed using the IRaMuTeQ software. To assess the association between categorical variables, the chi-square test was used. For all analyses, a significance level of 5% was considered. Results: The findings presented a semantic class associated with attitudes towards self-care in type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the other four subclasses, with complementary, decreasing and logical ideas, referred to emotional, behavioral, cognitive and self-care aspects. An association was observed between the subclasses and the variables sex, age and time since diagnosis. Conclusion: Emotional and cognitive aspects must be taken into account, together with the variables sex, age and time of diagnosis, for modifying attitudes towards self-care in type 2 diabetes.
