Fatores terapêuticos em grupos de diabéticos. Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da USP, São Paulo, v. 43, n. 3, p. 558-565, 2009.e- 1980-220Xhttp://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/17771The objective of the present research was to analyze the therapeutic factors identified in the accounts of the participants of a group of people with diabetes. An exploratory, assessing research carried out by means of semi-structured interviews pinpointed the following therapeutic factors: information availability (100%); cohesion (100%); universality (86%); interpersonal learning (57%); development of socialization techniques (57%); altruism (28.5%); imitative behavior (28.5%); and hope stimulus (28.5%). The implementation of group intervention actions for the promotion of self-care towards diabetes carriers can generate a beneficial interaction among group members, thus allowing for experience exchange processes, as well as a broader understanding of the disease and other positive experiences evidenced by the presence of the therapeutic factors.porAcesso AbertoEducação em saúdeDiabetes mellitusCuidados de enfermagemEstrutura de grupoHealth educationDiabetes mellitusNursing careGroup structureEducación en saludAtención de enfermeríaEstructura de grupoArtigo10.1590/S0080-62342009000300009
