Plano de ação para melhora da adesão ao tratamento de pacientes portadores de hipertensão arterial sistêmica na área de abrangência da equipe da saúde da família Aparecida - Capelinha, Minas Gerais

Abstract

Systemic Venous Hypertension (SVH) is a public health issue that has become steadily more serious as a result of its high rates of incidence and low control rates. Today, this increased number of SVH cases can be explained by different factors such as ageing of the population, sedentary habits and poor adherence to treatments. At Family Health Team (FHT) Aparecida the monitoring of hypertensive patients is basically done by means of appointments for consultations, without a well-structured service aimed at prevention, promotion, treatment and proper monitoring of those patients. This calls for a need for the development of an action plan capable of improving these practices and the quality of the service. The methodology used was the active observation of the work practices aimed at hypertensive patients at ESF Aparecida. Data were assessed based on information collected from the Community Health Agents (CHA) A forms, Primary Care Information System (PCIS), epidemiological notes and monthly production at ESF. A narrative bibliographic revision of scientific articles on ‘primary care’, ‘intervention project’, ‘venous hypertension’ and ‘poor adherence to treatment’ was carried out. The intervention Project was developed based on a situational diagnosis carried out by using the quick Estimate Method and following the stages of the Situational Strategic Planning (SSP), where the critical point found was low adherence to SVH treatment. The aim of this paper was to design an interventionist plan to address adherence to treatment among hypertensive patients within ESF Aparecida’s operational scope in the locality of Capelinha-MG, thus lessening the impact of this morbidity among the population under the care of ESF Aparecida.
