Plano de intervenção para alcançar a adesão adequada ao tratamento de pacientes com hipertensão arterial na unidade de saúde da família São Pedro de Avaí - Minas Gerais

Abstract

Systemic arterial hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is conceptualized by the V Brazilian Guidelines for Hypertension 1 as a syndrome characterized by the presence of elevated blood pressure levels associated with metabolic, hormonal and trophic changes, which consist of cardiac and vascular hypertrophy. Statistics on systemic arterial hypertension are alarming. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 600 million people worldwide have systemic arterial hypertension. In the American continent, hypertension affects about 140 million people, half of whom are unaware of being a carrier of the disease because they do not present symptoms and do not seek health services, and 30% of people who discover hypertension do not adequately treat for lack motivation or financial resources. In Latin America and the Caribbean, it is estimated that between 8% and 30% of the population are hypertensive.Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) presents a great challenge for the Brazilian health system, and for primary health care in the district of São Pedro de Avaí, in the municipality of Manhuaçu, Minas Gerais. Of the 710 hypertensive patients enrolled in the HIPERDIA Program, only 465 (65.4%) adhered to the pharmacological treatment. Based on this, the ESF São Pedro de Avaí understood the need to develop a proposal for intervention to modify the situation experienced.An intervention plan was made taking into account the intersectoriality in the management of the Family Health Strategy, using the Simplified Situational Strategic Planning Method (PES), following the steps proposed by Campos, Faria and Santos(2010).
