Résumé:
Diabetes Mellitus (DM), while chronic metabolic syndrome that affects a growing number of
people in developing countries and brings a surplus of demand attendances in the public
health system due to acute and chronic complications, requires an effective practice of
primary care the patients, in order to produce a comprehensive view of the individual and his
family, who is able to identify the need to explore the nature and education, inextricably, the
politics of care. Due to the low number of records and references on the subject and in view of
the large number of patients with DM and Paraiba in Brazil, discussing the relevance of the
right to health from the perspective of the patient portrays how these people are dealing with
the problem health on the political dimension, especially when it comes to service and SUS
services. This study aimed to understand the relationship between knowledge and the right to
health of DM in the treatment and control of disease. The research technique used was the
direct documentation, the type field research was a descriptive, qualitative approach, based on
data collected with DM, by applying semi-structured interview. The sample consisted of 20
individuals whose predominant age group was more than 41 years, majority owned by
women, with education up to the elementary school and low-income, predominantly
classification of type 2 diabetes and oral hypoglycemic drugs, obtained at USF. Indicate little
knowledge about their rights as users of the NHS and sought solving their demands primarily
in Primary, reducing their right to pharmaceutical care. The difficulties in accessing health
were failures in the distribution of medicines and supplies for the treatment and control of
diabetes and was noticeable that the professional staff is lacking in health care and other
issues was the cost and adaptation to diet therapy due mainly to socioeconomic conditions of
these individuals. The nursing care was described as predominantly humanized, but suggests
changes in routine care for chronic diseases. In order to promote changes that enforce the
right to health, it is necessary that professionals know the rights of their patients and lead to
an emancipatory care, conducting skills bioethics of care, to provide information and
modulate the citizenship of these people.
