Projeto de intervenção para redução da incidência de hipertensão arterial em pacientes atendidos na unidade básica de saúde Bernarda do município Rio Manso - Minas Gerais

Abstract

Systemic Arterial Hypertension is considered a chronic, degenerative disease and represents a serious health problem in the population, being one of the priorities of basic care, since good control and appropriate treatment of this condition are essential for the reduction of cardiovascular events. Systemic Arterial Hypertension is a disease that affects about 30% of the population. In the Bernarda Family Health Strategy, in the city of Rio Manso, there was an increase in the incidence of Systemic Arterial Hypertension, and this factor was related to the lack of knowledge of the risk factors and unhealthy lifestyle of the patients. The objective of this study was to elaborate an intervention plan to reduce the incidence of Systemic Arterial Hypertension in patients treated by the team. For its development, the Situational Strategic Planning Method was used to raise the problems of the community and to choose the priority problem for intervention. The review of the literature was done through data from the Virtual Health Library, Virtual Library of the Scientific Electronic Library Online Health Education Center, through the descriptors Hypertension, Family Health Strategy and Risk Factors. This project intends to raise the level of knowledge of Systemic Arterial Hypertension to promote the development of healthy living habits and abilities, which in turn allows to make adequate decisions for the control of arterial hypertension and to improve the quality of life for this group of patients, avoiding complications and death.
