Seeing the person with tuberculosis it is important to observe his/her self care, as well as the difficulties intertwined in this process, since it can be directly impacting the health/disease process. The aim of this study was to analyze the self care of people with tuberculosis. Descriptive study with qualitative approach, conducted in West Sanitary District of the city of Natal, RN. Data collection occurred through a semi-structured interview guided by questions concerning sociodemographic and about the disease, treatment, and self care, between the months of July to September 2012 and met the ethical precepts of research with human beings. To analyze the results we used the technique of thematic content analysis of Laurence Bardin, through the prism of the theoretical-philosophical self care discussed by Michel Foucault. From the analysis emerged two categories, the first being, Meaning of tuberculosis, with subcategories: tuberculosis as sadness and unhappiness and tuberculosis as a normal issue, and the second, Beware yourself to tuberculosis, which had subcategories: self care as attention to the health care of oneself as satisfaction of basic needs and difficulties to self care. Tuberculosis represents for some people, something really sad, causing psychological suffering, however the other presents as normal. Self care of persons with tuberculosis in this study are related in great part to seek health care and the satisfaction of basic needs. About the difficulties related to the practice of self-care, it is observed that these are tied to food, time for rest, slowness of health services for scheduling appointments and tests, as well as related habits and dependencies in the lives of these people. This study contributed to a reflection of the users with tuberculosis and self care, revealing aspects that healthcare professionals should pay attention to watch these people, being able to see everyday on the run, the need for a space and time for oneself / A tuberculose ? uma doen?a grave, com incid?ncia e preval?ncia elevadas, sendo em muitos pa?ses um problema de sa?de p?blica priorit?rio, persistindo com alta import?ncia epidemiol?gica. Ao vislumbrar a pessoa com tuberculose ? importante observar o seu cuidado de si, bem como as dificuldades imbricadas neste processo, visto que o mesmo pode estar repercutindo diretamente no processo sa?de/doen?a. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o cuidado de si da pessoa com tuberculose. Estudo do tipo descritivo e abordagem qualitativa, realizado no Distrito Sanit?rio Oeste do munic?pio de Natal/RN. A coleta dos dados ocorreu por meio de uma entrevista semiestruturada orientada por quest?es relativas aos aspectos sociodemogr?ficos e sobre a doen?a, tratamento e o cuidado de si, entre os meses de julho e setembro de 2012, e atendeu aos preceitos ?ticos de pesquisa com seres humanos. Para a an?lise dos resultados utilizou-se a t?cnica de an?lise de conte?do tem?tica de Laurence Bardin, sob o prisma do referencial te?rico-filos?fico do cuidado de si discutido por Michel Foucault. A partir da an?lise emergiram duas categorias, sendo a primeira, Significado da tuberculose, com as subcategorias: tuberculose como tristeza e infelicidade e tuberculose como algo normal; e a segunda, Cuidado de si com tuberculose, a qual teve as subcategorias: cuidado de si como aten??o para com a sa?de, cuidado de si como satisfa??o de necessidades b?sicas e dificuldades para o cuidado de si. A tuberculose representa, para alguns, algo deveras triste, causando sofrimentos psicol?gicos; entretanto a outros apresenta-se como normalidade. O cuidado de si das pessoas com tuberculose, nesse estudo, ? relativo, em grande parte, ? busca de cuidados com a sa?de e ? satisfa??o de necessidades b?sicas. Sobre as dificuldades relacionadas ? pr?tica do cuidado de si, observa-se que estas est?o atreladas ? alimenta??o, tempo para o descanso, morosidade dos servi?os de sa?de para agendamento de consultas e exames, bem como ligadas aos h?bitos e depend?ncias na vida destas pessoas. Este estudo contribuiu para uma reflex?o dos usu?rios com tuberculose sobre o cuidado de si, revelando aspectos que os profissionais de sa?de devem atentar ao assistir a estas pessoas, sendo poss?vel visualizar, na pressa cotidiana, a necessidade de um espa?o e tempo para si mesmo

In this diploma thesis I focus on health care for prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment. Health care in my view is based on a holistic vision of man, where I am interested in all components of an individual as a whole, and therefore I can not be satisfied with definition of health as absence of illness. So I do not mean only health care, but services that lead to optimal human development in all its human elements. These are services that take care of bio-psycho-socio-spiritual aspect of individual respectively prisoner. The aim of my qualitative research is to map the services related to a health care that are actually provided to prisoners serving a life sentence and then compare them with the services provided to prisoners serving prison sentence.
