Introdução: A Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) é uma doença crónica de elevada
prevalência, com impacto na qualidade de vida das pessoas e famílias. A literacia em saúde
e o suporte familiar são fatores-chave na promoção da autogestão da doença. Este estudo
teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto de um programa educativo na literacia em saúde e na
autogestão da pessoa com DM2, bem como a influência do suporte familiar na adesão
terapêutica e saúde emocional.
Material e Métodos: Estudo de natureza mista, com abordagem quantitativa,
descritiva, transversal e correlacional, realizado na USF. Participaram 116 pessoas com DM2
e familiares, selecionados em contexto de consulta autónoma de enfermagem. Utilizaram-se
questionários sociodemográficos, a escala WHOQOL-Bref e a PAID-5. O programa educativo
envolveu sessões teórico-práticas sobre autocuidado, alimentação, atividade física,
monitorização e gestão emocional.
Resultados: Participantes fisicamente ativos apresentaram melhor qualidade de vida
(74,1 vs. 67,9; p = 0,005), embora sem diferenças significativas no distress emocional. Não
se verificaram diferenças relevantes entre géneros ou local de residência. A intervenção
evidenciou ganhos na comunicação familiar, adesão ao regime terapêutico e autonomia da
pessoa com DM2.
Conclusão: O programa educativo mostrou-se eficaz na promoção da literacia em
saúde, na autogestão da DM2 e no envolvimento familiar, reforçando a importância de
intervenções educativas no âmbito da enfermagem comunitária.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a highly prevalent chronic disease that significantly impacts the quality of life of individuals and their families. Health literacy and family support are key factors in promoting disease self-management. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an educational program on health literacy and self-management in people with T2DM, and the influence of family support on treatment adherence and emotional well-being. Materials and Methods: This mixed-methods study employed a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational approach. It was conducted at USF and involved 116 individuals with T2DM and their family members, recruited during nursing consultations. Data collection included sociodemographic questionnaires, the WHOQOL-Bref, and the PAID5. The educational program comprised theoretical-practical sessions on self-care, nutrition, physical activity, monitoring, and emotional management. Results: Physically active participants reported higher quality of life (74.1 vs. 67.9; p = .005), with no significant differences in emotional distress. No relevant differences were found between genders or place of residence. The intervention demonstrated improvements in family communication, therapeutic adherence, and self-management autonomy. Conclusion: The educational program was effective in promoting health literacy, selfmanagement of T2DM, and active family involvement, highlighting the relevance of structured educational interventions in community nursing. Keywords: Type 2 Diabetes; Health Literacy; Self-Management; Community Nursing; Health Education; Family.
