Proposta de intervenção para reduzir os fatores de risco nos pacientes com Hipertensão arterial da area no-7 Piau, Piranhas, Alagoas

Abstract

Among the cardiovascular diseases, systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is an important risk factor for heart complications, one of the most prevalent diseases in the world. In Brazil, hypertension affects 22.3% to 43.9% of the adult population. In most cases the disease is asymptomatic and is associated with cardiovascular risk factors are also responsible for the large number of hospitalizations, representingvery high socioeconomic cost. In the area covered by the Health Team No.7 of PIAU Family, Piranhas, risk factors (RF) have been identified such as obesity, physical inactivity, smoking, alcohol consumption dys lipidemia which has contributed to the high prevalence of hypertension in this population. These patients have even greater difficulty in controlling hypertension and a higher prevalence of associated diseases.The aim of this study was to propose an action plan to reduce the risk factors of patients with arterial hypertension treated at area No. 7 PIAU-Piranhas, Alagoas. Thus, the situational strategic planning method (PES) was used, the study was descriptive and then was drawn up planning for construction of the area served intervention project. weekly meetings with the health team were held during the period of one month. Then, it designed the project for implementation of interventions in the catchment area. It is expected, therefore, to achieve better control of riskfactors that are associated with arterial hypertension in patients treated, allowing these to achieve greater awareness to control this disease, providing hypertensive patients improved quality of life, and prepare members health staff involved in patient care and sensitize them about the disease.
