Abstract:	Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease caused by insufficient production or poor absorption of insulin, whose main characteristic is hyperglycemia, that is, “excessive blood sugar”. This condition can result in macro and microvascular complications, resulting in renal failure, retinopathy (impaired vision), heart attacks, strokes, loss of sensation in the lower limbs, among others. it is currently considered a public health problem, due to the growing number of patients and the high public investments for the treatment of the disease. In this scenario, complications related to the lower limbs, called “Feet Diseases in Diabetes”. It is characterized by the difficulty of healing (which can extend the treatment for years), and being the biggest cause of lower limb amputations. At this juncture, researchers at the University of Brasília (UnB) have developed a portable technology that combines the use of natural latex biomembrane (from the Hevea Brasiliense rubber tree) with phototherapy, by LED to treat wounds in the lower limbs of diabetic patients, called RAPHA® (heal in Hebrew), having promising results in clinical studies. The technology is based on in-home treatment, performed by the patient and their families, distancing the patient from health centers and encouraging self-care. Objective: To analyze the process of self-care as a therapeutic force in the set of the RAPHA® protocol. Methodology: This research is based on the theoretical and methodological framework of qualitative research. This method constitutes a tool that allows accessing the phenomenon studied in a subjective context. Thus, based on the assumption that RAPHA® operates in a context of self-care, a qualitative perspective linked to events is justified. The qualitative analysis was based on participant observation and documental analysis of the data collected during the clinical phase of the RAPHA® project, in the years 2018 and 2019. Results: The integration of the self-care process into the clinical trial (since RAPHA® as a technology depends on the patient's assertive behavior) provided participants with a greater understanding of the health/disease process and care dynamics, such as wound cleaning. Likewise, it encourages the participation and support of family members in the process, which impacts the participant's quality of life. It is worth mentioning that, as it is a home treatment, the removal from health centers has a positive effect on the results, since it reduces the risk of contact with other diseases and costs with travel to the health center. Finally, self-care provides, in addition to wound closure, tools to prevent the emergence of new ones, through daily care, which implies savings in treatment and medication. Conclusion: The outcomes achieved in the RAPHA® research demonstrated in the statistical data indicate that self-care can be considered a therapeutic force, having achieved results superior to SUS coverage in care.
