摘要:I was aimed to apprehend the social representations about the
offered care in diabetes mellitus. This qualitative study was
developed in a Basic Unit of health in Jequi¨¦. Twenty five diabetics
participated in the semi-structural interview. They constructed two
categories: the care received and the care desired. The first one is
based on physical, biological and educative aspects the other one
is based on the affective aspects. These results showed that the
professional¡¯s health must take in consideration the
representations, faiths, attitudes and expectations of the diabetics
while products and producing of a social reality.
