RESUMO
Resumo Objetivo: Identificar as crenças relacionadas ao uso de antidiabético oral em pessoas com diabetes mellitus tipo 2, com base na Theory of Planned Behavior. Método: Estudo descritivo com abordagem quantiqualitativa, realizado com 32 participantes em uso de antidiabético oral. Os dados foram coletados por meio de formulário com perguntas abertas e analisados pelo número de emissões e conteúdo. Resultados: Entre as crenças comportamentais, destacam-se: como vantagem, manter o diabetes controlado; e, como desvantagens, dor e desconforto gástrico, enjoo e diarreia. Nas crenças normativas, sobressaiu como referente social a família (filhos, mãe e irmãos). Quanto às crenças de controle, tomar os comprimidos com água e o tamanho dos comprimidos como as facilidades e dificuldades, respectivamente, em relação ao seguimento da terapêutica oral. Conclusão e implicações para prática: Foi possível identificar as crenças frente ao comportamento da tomada do antidiabético oral que contribuirão para fomentar estratégias educativas com poder de fortalecer as positivas e reverter as negativas, em benefício da adesão à terapêutica medicamentosa, ao controle glicêmico e à qualidade de vida.Abstract Objective: To identify beliefs related to oral antidiabetic use among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, based on the Theory of Planned Behavior.
