Abstract:

The aim of this study was identify the structuring elements that guide the formation of the social representations of diabetic foot among people with diabetes mellitus. Qualitative study based on the Theory of Social Representations and carried out in a capital of northeastern Brazil. For data collection the test of free association of words and script were used to characterize the sociodemographic and clinical profile. The analysis was performed using openEVOC software. 100 people with diabetic foot participated in the study. The constituent elements of the social representation of diabetic foot are healing and very bad, revealing that living with a diabetic foot is challenging, but that there is hope for a cure that constitutes a propelling spring in the daily search for care. The prevention element emerged in the representational field, denoting a more critical view and being able to transform the identified nuclear elements. It was found that the representational structure is based on subjective, valuation and attitudinal contents. This knowledge can contribute to the design of interventions that assist in the practices of care and tracking of diabetic foot in the services offered in Primary Health Care.
