Abstract

The Family Health Program (FHP) in Brazil emerges as a strategy for reorienting the health care model from primary care, in accordance with the principles of the Unified Health System PSF appears as a new way of working health, with the family as the center of attention and not only the individual patient, introducing new vision of the intervention process in health to the extent that the population does not expect to arrive to be answered, because it acts preventively about it from a new model of care. The PSF Pontello I belong to the city of Pitangui and serves a population of approximately 25,339 inhabitants. When conducting situational diagnosis of the area of FHP Pontello I, many problems such as increased violence and poor access of the population to leisure activities were identified. However, the issue of greatest importance is related to the high incidence of patients with systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) which according to the Brazilian Cardiology Society is not unlike the data from the municipality of Brazil. SAH is a serious public health problem, being considered one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. According to the Brazilian Society of Cardiology and the Brazilian Society of Hypertension, its control depends on pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures such as reducing alcohol consumption, obesity control, a balanced diet, regular physical activity and tobacco cessation . Adherence to these lifestyle helps reduce blood pressure levels and contributes to the prevention of complications. So we created a proposal for intervention aiming to implement a program of actions to encourage adherence to treatment and control of Hypertension User accompanied by nurses and community health workers of PSF I Pontello in the municipality of Pitangui / MG. With the development of this work, we expect improvements in quality of care for patients with SAH attended by FHP Pontello I team which will lead to improved quality of life for patients.
