Objective: To investigate the beliefs of people with heart failure about monitoring body weight. Method: a qualitative study, guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Individual structured interviews were conducted with 25 people with heart failure treated at Basic Health Units. Data were examined through frequency and content analysis. Results: Regarding behavioral beliefs, the advantages were controlling weight, monitoring health and quality of life, and no disadvantages were mentioned. Concerning normative beliefs, children and spouses were the people with the greatest positive influence on weight monitoring. Regarding control beliefs, the advantages were having a scale and having a health unit and pharmacy close to home, and the difficulties were lack of time and distance from places with scales. Conclusion: The positive behavioral, normative and control beliefs identified need to be strengthened to promote daily monitoring of body weight as a strategy to prevent signs of clinical decompensation. Educational interventions should be instituted to improve adherence to weight control as a self-care behavior.
