Objetivo: analisar o processo de transferência de autonomia para o autocuidado das crianças e adolescentes com diabetes tipo 1, sob a ótica do binômio mãe e filho. Método: pesquisa convergente assistencial, realizada com 16 binômios, atendidos em ambulatório especializado na região sul brasileira. A coleta ocorreu em 2017 através de entrevistas e observação que foram transcritas e analisadas conforme as etapas do método proposto. Seguiu-se os preceitos éticos. Resultados: algumas mães apresentaram dificuldade em delegar autonomia para o autocuidado dos filhos, e alguns filhos não se sentiam seguros para desenvolver o autocuidado. As dificuldades no cuidado estiveram relacionadas a alimentação, automonitoramento glicêmico, medicação e exercícios físicos. Conclusão: o processo de transferência do autocuidado é complexo, com dificuldades para contornar a postura de (super)proteção materna e promover a autonomia dos filhos, em função da recorrência nos descuidos e da falta de comprometimento, com impactos ao controle adequado na doença.
ABSTRACT
Objective: to analyze the process of transferring autonomy to self-care for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, from the perspective of the mother-child binomial. Method: convergent care research, carried out with 16 pairs, assisted in a specialized clinic in the southern region of Brazil. The collection took place in 2017 through interviews and observation that were transcribed and analyzed according to the steps of the proposed method. The ethical precepts were followed. Results: some mothers had difficulty delegating autonomy for their children's self-care, and some children did not feel safe to develop self-care. Difficulties in care were related to food, glycemic self-monitoring, medication and physical exercises. Conclusion: the self-care transfer process is complex, with difficulties in overcoming the posture of (super) maternal protection and promoting the children's autonomy, due to the recurrence of carelessness and lack of commitment, with impacts on adequate control of the disease.
