The present study aimed to assess how health professionals view the Diabetes Conversation Map as an educational strategy. It is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research conducted with 14 health professionals from Primary Health Care Units located in the eastern district of the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais (Brazil). Data were collected using a semi-structured interview, guided by the following questions: "Which educational practices are being used in primary care?"; "How are they being used?"; and "What are their foundations?". Focus groups were then carried out with the following guiding questions: "What do you think it is like to be diagnosed with diabetes?"; "What do you think it is like to have to follow health plan of daily care?"; and "What is your view of the Diabetes Conversation Map?". Data were analyzed following Bardin's content analysis framework, from which two categories emerged: a) the Conversation Map as a participative learning strategy; b) factors that affect the educational practice of self-care. The use of the Diabetes Conversation Map has allowed us to know how professionals view this new strategy for diabetes self-care, thus establishing the map as a suitable tool for educational practices.Downloads
