Projeto de intervenção para o combate à não adesão ao tratamento em pacientes hipertensos na Estratégia Saúde da Família São Pedro em Itinga, Minas Gerais

Abstract

Systemic arterial hypertension is a chronic disease with high prevalence and morbidity and mortality. It was observed that there are a large number of cases of uncontrolled hypertension in patients of the São Pedro Family Health Strategy, located in the district of Taquaral de Minas, which belongs to the municipality of Itinga - Minas Gerais, and many of these patients are known not to adhere to the treatment. This study aims to identify and combat the factors that cause non-adherence to the treatment proposed to hypertensive patients attended at the health unit in question. To support the implementation of the intervention project, a bibliographic research was done in the databases of the Virtual Health Library. The intervention project was elaborated following the steps of the situational strategic planning. It is hoped that the proposed actions may contribute to a greater adherence to the treatment of patients with systemic arterial hypertension and, at the same time, to empower them and encourage them in self-care with health.
