Introduction: Chronic conditions have demanded a restructuring of health care in Brazil, and a Care Model for Chronic Conditions (MACC) that uses self-management support as methodology has been conceived. This Model is guided by the 5 A’s (Assess, Advise, Agree, Assist, and Arrange) and values the individual as an active participant in his/her health demands, and in the planning and execution of his/her care plan with the health care team and his/her relatives. Objective: To analyze the actions of teams of the Federal Brazilian Program “Estratégia Saúde da Família” (Family Health Strategy) in the perspective of self-management support to children/teenagers with chronic conditions and their families. Methods: Qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study carried out between April and August 2016, in Family Health Units of João Pessoa, PB, Brazil. Health workers who cared for children/teenagers with chronic conditions and their families ascribed in the selected units participated in this research. Data collection was carried out with semi-structured interviews, whose interpretation was drawn on Thematic Analysis. The study was approved by protocol nº 054/14 and CPEC: 27102214.6.0000.5188. Results: The interventions reported were episodic and not unanimous among the interviewed subjects and included: assessing barriers to self-management and assessing the emotional state of the individual; provision of information about signs, symptoms, and treatment of the disease; motivation for searching resources at the community that would assist in the process; health care specific to vocational training of the interviewed subjects; monitoring through household visit, routine appointment and strengthening of the ties with mobile technology. Conclusion: Health workers developed fragmented interventions of self-management support as no one has completed all the steps of the 5A's with the same individual or family. This manner of providing care can compromise the control of the disease and reflect in the professional transfer of responsibility, by generating gaps in the care line.
