摘要：Objective: To know the perceptions of diabetes mellitus type 1adolescents on the use of the insulin injection pen in daily life.Materials and Methods: A qualitative research was carried out involving fifteen diabetic adolescents aged 13 to 18 years-old enrolled in a university extension program. The young men and women attending at least three meetings a year in group activities were invited to participate in the study. Semi-structured interviews were performed before and after the routine use of the insulin pen. The data were analyzed and interpreted through content analysis proposed by Bardin. The ethics committee of FURB approved the project under the protocol number 99/10.Results: Nine adolescents with diabetes, four female and five male, revealed that they feel helpless in the face of the changes caused by the disease and the consequent loss of control over their lives. In addition, the condition of having diabetes and needing to apply insulin with a syringe and needle was pointed out as one of the difficulties of the treatment. Regarding the pen, all adolescents prefer it considering the practicality in the development of daily activities.Conclusion: In this study, it was perceived that the use of the insulin injection pen contributes to the improvement on the quality of life of the adolescent with diabetes, deserving more attention by professionals and health public management aiming to promote self-care.
