Abstract
in English, Spanish

Objective: To analyze self-care conditioning factors in women and men with urinary incontinence symptoms living with the Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1.

Method: Qualitative study, based on the pragmatic phase of Praxis Model for Technology Development. Twelve women and five adult men living with Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1, residing in Bahia, Brazil, participated in the study. A structured instrument and focus group were applied to collect data. The empirical material was subjected to Thematic Content Analysis, using the software WebQDA and the Self-Care/Self-Care Deficit Theory was used.

Results: Facilitating conditioning factors were used by women and men as strategies for performing self-care, and hindering conditioning factors prevented or disturbed, but opened paths to direct the nurse's performance to address self-care deficits.

Conclusion: Self-care requirements were impacted by the hindering conditioning factors; the facilitating ones allowed self-care, providing technology in nursing/health.

Objetivo:: Analisar los fatores condicionantes para el autocuidado en mujeres y hombres con síntomas de incontinencia urinaria y Virus linfotrópico T humano tipo 1.

Método:: Estudio cualitativo, guiado por la fase Pragmática del Modelo Práctico para el Desarrollo Tecnológico. Participaron 12 mujeres y cinco hombres adultos viviendo con Virus linfotrópico T humano tipo 1, residentes de Bahía, Brasil. Para la recolección de datos se aplicó un instrumento estructurado y un grupo focal. El material empírico fue sometido a Análisis de Contenido Temático, utilizando el software WebQDA y la Teoría del Autocuidado/Déficit de Autocuidado.

Resultados:: Los condicionantes facilitadoras fueron utilizadas por mujeres y hombres como estrategias para realizar el autocuidado y los condicionantes obstaculizadoras impidieron o dificultaron, pero abrieron caminos para orientar las acciones del enfermero para superar los déficits de autocuidado.

Conclusión:: Los requisitos de autocuidado se vieron afectados por los factores condicionantes obstaculizadores; los facilitadores permitieron el autocuidado y brindaron oportunidades para la enfermería y la tecnología de la salud.
