O papel do programa de saúde da família diante da hipertensão arterial sistêmica

Abstract

The sistemic blood hipertensure (HT) is a serious public problem in Brazil and around the world. Statitistic data reveal it is a expressive risk factor on the developing cardiovascular diseases, as well as cerebrovascular and renal patologies. Incontrolled HT can lead to acute crises causing hospitalization, and may determine high-custly interventions overcount of profilatic treatment wich may save organs. Since 1994, Programa de Saúde da família ( PSF ), in order to organize the social assistence based on a model turned itself to basic assistence (prevention and promotion of helth issues). PSF assume hereby the standart politic exchanging the older model turned to curative procedures. Alongside other atributes, PSF is responsible for blood pressure controlling. Given the multimodal aprouch and metodology of PSF, the same has got a lot to contirbute to patient learning and the surrounding population throught stabilishing knowledge in nutricional behaviour, sedentarism and treatment addesion. Moreover, PSF acts along with public organs and the civil society in stablishing practics restrict to a rewarded population. Furthermore, demographic or geographic boundaries associated to the PSF metodology pump up diverse taskforce against HT whereby relevant demogaphic data is incluided in the management of politcs to HT, with more efective and rational results.
