AB - Objective: To understand the
repercussions of leprosy on the daily lives of
people living with the disease. Method:
Qualitative, descriptive and exploratory
research that used the thematic oral history,
conducted with nine people undergoing
leprosy treatment. Data were collected
between May and July 2016, through a semistructured questionnaire composed of
identification data and a guiding question.
The interviews were recorded and later
transcribed and subjected to categorical
thematic content analysis. Results: The
findings were organized into three
categories: Daily changes after diagnosis of
leprosy; Feelings triggered by the diagnosis
and; The unveiling of different ways of
dealing with leprosy: stigma and prejudice.
Conclusion: Leprosy brings changes in the
life of the affected person and their families,
and it is up to the nursing professionals,
besides the follow-up in the treatment, to
identify them and to take actions so that the
individual can fight against stigma,
prejudice and social exclusion.
