Fatores casuais de baixa adesão ao tratamento da hipertensão arterial sistêmica em pacientes da área 42 da Unidade de Saúde da Família Edvaldo Silva em Maceió - Alagoas

Abstract

The situational diagnosis, performed in the area of coverage of the Edvaldo Silva Health Unit in the Fernão Velho neighborhood located in the municipality of Maceió-Alagoas, identified the existence of a high prevalence of patients with uncontrolled primary hypertension due to low adherence to therapeutic treatment. Systemic Arterial Hypertension contributes to an increase in cardiovascular risk, increasing morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular pathologies that generate a high socioeconomic impact. This study aimed to elaborate an intervention project to reduce the complications of hypertension, the emergence of Cardiovascular Diseases and increase adherence to pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment. A bibliographic review was performed in the Virtual Health Library, in the SciELO database, with the descriptors: Hypertension, adherence and family health. The intervention plan was based on the steps of the Strategic Situational Planning Method. It is hoped that, through the actions of this plan that seeks to improve therapeutic adherence, reduce complications and increase cardiovascular risk, as well as creating a collective conscience and that the patient with hypertension feels and is the active element in their process of treatment.
