Resumen
SILVA JUNIOR, Antônio do Carmo et al. Conception of hypertense and diabetic people about the impacts of metabolic syndrome on their health. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.6, pp.1-. Epub 09-Mar-2023. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v23n6.81620.
Objective
To know the conception of users of a hypertension and diabetes program about metabolic syndrome.
Method
This is an exploratory-descriptive study with a qualitative approach conducted in the city of Jequié, Bahia. The study participants were users of the hypertension and diabetes program of a health center. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the State University of Southwest Bahia (Opinion N°. 013/2011).
Results
From content analysis three categories emerged: conception of the metabolic syndrome; psychosocial factors and treatment, and six subcategories: life-threatening; fear; indifference; decreased ability to perform activities of daily living; difficulty adapting to diet, and adherence to drug treatment.
Conclusions
It was perceived that the disease has a negative impact on users' lives as they understand the disease as a risk factor that can reduce or limit their ability to perform daily tasks.
