| Resumo: | Objective: to identify self-care needs of transsexual women using sex hormones, based in Orem’s General Theory of Nursing. Method:descriptive-exploratory study with a qualitative approach, undertaken in Recife, capital of the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, between November2016 and February 2017. Data collection was undertaken through semistructured interviews, with a sample of 10 transsexual women using sex hormones,selected using the Snowball technique. Analysis was undertaken using the IRAMUTE Q software, version 0.7. Results: the needs found were:prevention of danger to life, functioning and well-being; seeking and ensuring appropriate medical care; adapting to the changes in the body; modificationof self-image; and adverse events affecting development. Conclusion: the requirements were anchored in issues caused by poor knowledgeabout the use of hormones, and by the poor quality of the information received through the health professionals. |
