Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2024;77(6):e20240154
DOI 10.1590/0034-7167-2024-0154
Views0ABSTRACT
Objectives:
to identify the process of health literacy development among primary care patients, relating it to their self-care practices.
Methods:
qualitative, prospective research with 22 patients from two Family Health Strategy units. Data were obtained through individual semi-structured interviews, examined through descriptive statistics and thematic content analysis.
Results:
the results discuss how participants learn about health and how this resonates in their behaviors, culminating in two thematic categories: “Health knowledge construction”; and “Dialogue between health knowledge construction and patient care actions”.
Final Considerations:
health knowledge is developed mainly through interpersonal relationships, mediated by health professionals through bonding and communication. Community educational actions and training of health professionals in communication can promote health literacy and self-care among patients.

Objective:
To analyze, in the speeches of nurses, the habitus that conforms their professional identity in the primary health care area.
Method:
Qualitative study, carried out from March to October 2015, with nurses of primary healthcare units in the cities of Cajazeiras, in the state of Paraíba, and Maracanaú, in the state of Ceará. Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews, and analyzed through discourse analysis.
Results:
Nurses, in their practice and perception, perceive that professional identity is linked to the meaning that involves the word “everything”. This situation constitutes a habitus that directs the range of daily actions, often distant from the profession’s core of knowledge.
Final considerations:
Trying to be and do everything in primary health care involves negative repercussions in the professional identity of nurses. Strategic guidance is necessary in order to achieve and embrace elements that reflect the essence of this category.
