Abstract(s)
A diabetes Mellitus é uma doença crónica cujo tratamento exige um papel ativo por
parte do paciente no controlo da doença. A presente investigação teve como principal
objetivo caracterizar uma amostra de utentes com diabetes tipo II, ao nível das
representações da doença, conhecimentos e autocuidados, explorando as diferenças
entre os diabéticos controlados e não controlados. Trata-se de um estudo observacional,
descritivo transversal com análise comparativa dos dados. A amostra foi constituída por
140 utentes de um centro de saúde da região Norte. Os instrumentos utilizados foram
Ilness Perception Questionnaire- Brief (IPQ-B), Questionário dos Conhecimentos da
Diabetes (QCD), Questionário de Avaliação das Actividades de Auto-Cuidado com a
Diabetes (SDSCA). Os resultados da comparação entre diabéticos controlados e não
controlados evidenciaram diferenças significativas na maioria das dimensões do IPQ,
nos conhecimentos acerca da doença e nos autocuidados. Estes dados apontam no
sentido de intervenções diferenciadas por diabéticos controlados e diabéticos não
controlados.
