Abstract

The aim of this study was to describe the social determinants of health, identified by nurses as relevant to the establishment of vulnerabilities of people with diabetes mellitus. A descriptive exploratory study was conducted, and its methodology was divided into two phases: identification of social determinants of health that can impact the development of diabetic foot; and evaluation of the social determinants of health by nurses. The research was conducted between August and November 2014, with nurses working in Curitiba and its metropolitan region. Of 68 social determinants of health, 20 were considered influential to the development of diabetic foot. Of these, only three belong to social vulnerability. In conclusion, the social dimension of vulnerability is still poorly recognized by nurses as capable of influencing the development of diabetic foot.
