SUMMARY:

Diabetes mellitus and systemic arterial hypertension are chronic diseases of multiple etiologies, responsible for the main causes of mortality and morbidity among adults and the elderly, becoming a challenge for public and health policies in Brazil and around the world. These challenges, accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic, are risk factors for both the severity of the infection and the inability to carry out post-COVID activities of daily living. With the aim of analyzing the self-care actions of people with diabetes mellitus and systemic arterial hypertension in post-COVID-19 conditions, in light of Orem's Theory, a descriptive, cross-sectional and exploratory research was carried out, with a quantitative approach, in the municipality of Ceará Mirim, metropolitan region of Natal, capital of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, in 9 Basic Family Health Units, in the urban area of the municipality. The population of 6,932 included diabetic and hypertensive users, registered in the 9 Units and the sample corresponded to 363, obtained from stratified random sampling, considering a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of 5%. Users registered in these Units, diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and/or high blood pressure, and having been affected by COVID-19, were included. Data were obtained through structured forms, composed of closed questions, “Clinical File for post-COVID condition”, adapted for the research, for demographic data and health condition and the “WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0) Manual”, for data related to self-care. They were applied through structured interviews, carried out in the Units and at the participant's home, depending on their availability. The data were tabulated, organized and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science version 22.0 and the self-care variables were analyzed according to the “WHO Disability Assessment Schedule WHODAS 2.0 Manual” score. All procedures were governed by the ethical precepts of Resolution no. 466/12 of the National Health Council for research with human beings. The results indicate that individuals in a post- COVID-19 condition are mostly male, with an average age of 57 years, with at least one comorbidity, with diabetes mellitus and high blood pressure being more prevalent and also more developed in those who required hospitalization and oxygen support during the acute phase of the infection. In the post-COVID phase, it was identified that self- care actions such as inability to move and limitations in activities were affected. The most frequent physical symptoms were fatigue and dyspnea and the cognitive ones were memory loss, concentration problems and anxiety. In the end, it was possible to identify that the post-COVID-19 condition causes the emergence of symptoms and consequences in the self-care of diabetic and hypertensive individuals. This identification is essential to assist in the rehabilitation of functional disabilities and contribute to defining flows and priorities in health services and nursing care in the post-pandemic scenario.
