Beskrivning:Introduction: Self-care is an important strategy for military firefighters to preserve their health in a work activity involving daily insecurity and stress. Objective: To identify military firefighters' perceptions about their work's health repercussions. Methodology:This is qualitative research, conducted in the framework of the Convergent Care Research developed through participant observation, focus groups, workshops, and collective interviews with 34 military firefighters from a battalion located in Southern Brazil. The data obtained were subjected to thematic analysis. Results: There were three final themes: “Strategies for self-care and health promotion for professional firefighters” and “Repercussions of work on self-care”. The analysis of the data from the collective interviews included the theme “Points of convergence: research as a promoter of self-care”. Conclusion: Although participants are aware of the strategies that contribute to their self-care, they also emphasize the negative repercussions that work has had on their health.
