Plano de intervenção para melhorar o acompanhamento dos usuários portadores de hipertensão arterial da unidade básica de saúde José Carlos de Lima do município de Montes Claros em Minas Gerais

Abstract

Systemic Arterial Hypertension is a condition characterized by systolic blood pressure equal to or greater than 140 mm Hg, in several measurements, or diastolic pressure above or equal to 90 mm Hg, persistently. If not treated properly, it can cause complications in the circulatory system, among other comorbidities, and Primary Care is responsible for screening and monitoring. This work aims to develop an intervention plan to improve the monitoring of users with hypertension at the Basic Health Unit José Carlos de Lima, located in the municipality of Montes Claros in Minas Gerais. After conducting a situational diagnosis of the area assigned to the Unit, the main problems of the community were raised, with a high number of hypertensive patients with low adherence to treatment. For the theoretical support of the work, a literature review was carried out at the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Finally, an action plan based on the steps of the Strategic Planning for Situation was elaborated. Thus, it is expected that these actions, after implemented, will have a direct and indirect impact in reducing the population's morbidity and mortality, as well as an improvement in community health care and in their quality of life.
