The diabetes mellitus type 1 generally occurs in infancy or adolescence and is reported dramatically in the parents' life. The family is fundamental in the treatment of the patient: It represents the foundation that will influence in the acceptance or not of the disease by the carrier. Because of this, the objectives of this study were described, the health beliefs of parents of carrying children with diabetes mellitus type 1 and understanding behaviors and psychics change that will possibly influence in the relation of the treatment. 13 people were investigated, 11 month to 10 years old children’s parents with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, through an interview for attainment the health beliefs. The analyses of the data had been carried through the basis of the model of “health beliefs”. This model analyzed: impact of the diagnosis, susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, self-efficacy and present expectations of the future. The results had shown that the parents had difficulties, fears and unreliabilities, for the illness of their children. When telling the situations lived since the diagnosis until the current moment, in all the stages, the parents disclose intense suffering. They constantly are invaded from fear of loss, in the present as in the future in function of the complications of the illness. From these results is recommend that the parents receive a support from a team of health professionals with specific knowledge and with purpose to inform on the illness and how to minimize the fears and unreliabilities that create obstacles for the adhesion to the treatment. We expected with this type of support improve the quality of life of the patient and their family.
