Proposta de intervenção para reduzir os altos índices de usuários da Equipe Vermelha portadores de hipertensão arterial descompensada

Abstract

One of the major public health problems in the world is Systemic Arterial Hypertension, because of its high prevalence and because it is the main cardiovascular risk factor. More than 30% of the adult population is hypertensive. Risk factors such as: sedentarism, excessive salt intake, smoking, obesity and alcohol contribute to the prevalence of this disease, among others. Adequate and continued control of Arterial Hypertension helps prevent complications and basic attention directed to their work, through educational activities and involvement of people with risk factors for this disease. In our basic health unit Vale do Jatobá, the high rate of hypertension was identified as the main health problem. Our project aims to reduce high rates of uncompensated hypertensive patients through an educational intervention plan. For this purpose, a bibliographic research was carried out in the databases of the Virtual Health Library. The preparation of the intervention project followed the steps of the situational strategic planning. It is expected that as implementation of the project actions reduce the number of hypertensive decompensated.
