MULLER, Adriana Lobo; SILVA, Cláudia Regina Lima Duarte da  e  VARGAS, Deisi Maria. Perceptions of psychosocial aspects in health care of adolescents with severe obesity. Rev. Psicol. Saúde [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.3, pp. 125-138. ISSN 2177-093X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20435/pssa.v11i3.596.

The aim of this study was to revel perceptions of psychosocial aspects in the care of adolescents with severe obesity at primary health care. It is a qualitative and descriptive study that used semi-structured interview for data collection. Thematic content analysis was used to process and analyse text data. Six health professionals, five adolescents with severe obesity and six relatives of adolescents with severe obesity were interviewed. Three categories were identified: obesity conception, health care conception and obesity in life. Our findings show that the conception of obesity by health professionals, adolescents and family was multifactorial including genetic and organic factors, the contemporary way of life and psychological aspects. The health care conception was characterized by diet, physical activity and bariatric surgery. From this perspective, the authors did some reflections on the Brazilian public policies on nutrition, mental health and adolescent health based on the emerging concept of comprehensive health care.

Palavras-chave : adolescence; obesity; aspects psychosocial; perception; primary health care.
