Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo, baseado nos depoimentos de companheiros de mulheres com histórico de câncer de mama, do município de Divinópolis-MG. O objetivo foi conhecer o sentimento desses parceiros no processo natural da doença, tratamento e cura. A análise do conteúdo das falas dos parceiros resultou em cinco categorias: os sentimentos vivenciados ao longo do processo natural da doença: a convivência com a companheira mastectomizada, a crença nos avanços da ciência, a confiança depositada na equipe de saúde e a fé como suporte na trajetória da doença para a cura. Como impacto da doença nos parceiros, destaca-se a presença de sentimentos ambíguos, como medo, tristeza, esperança, fé e alegria, de acordo com cada etapa vivenciada. Os resultados estimulam a criação de estratégias de suporte para esses parceiros e para a família na tentativa de conseguir manter uma sólida base familiar que possa assegurar o bom andamento do tratamento e cura dessas mulheres.
Objective: To understand the feelings and behaviors of people being treated for Systemic Hypertension (SH) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Method: A qualitative study based on Grounded Theory and Symbolic Interactionism, with 27 participants in treatment for SH and DM followed up by the Family Health Strategy team. Open, axial and selective coding was performed, giving rise to three theoretical categories and the central category. Results: The daily life is explicit in the (lack of)care of the self with the chronic disease and feelings of sadness and anxiety are expressed as reasons for the lack of control of the disease. It points out that people take care of themselves because of fear of complications, reinforced the need for guidance on the use of medication and the empowerment of the chronic patient for self-care and care for the other. Final considerations: Knowing behaviors and feelings of people with SH and/or DM allows a professional performance beyond the chronic condition.
