Proposta de intervenção com atividade física para o controle da hipertensão dos usuários da unidade básica de saúde virgem dos pobres, são benedito, santa luzia - minas gerais.

Abstract

During the realization of the situational diagnosis in the area covered by the Health Strategy of the Virgem dos Pobres Family, in the region of São Benedito, municipality of Santa Luzia - Minas Gerais, a high number of decompensated hypertensive patients was observed among users of the Basic Health Unit. This study aimed to develop an action plan to minimize the number of hypertensive patients in the registered community. In this context, a project was developed based on experiences in the Basic Health Unit - Virgem dos Pobres to tackle the problem. It is noted that this alarming number of hypertensive patients happens, due to different causes, such as bad eating habits, inadequate lifestyles, aging, heredity and the lack of physical activities causing sedentary lifestyle. For theoretical foundation, a bibliographic search was performed in the databases of the Virtual Health Library. In view of the information, an intervention proposal for the control of systemic arterial hypertension of patients enrolled in the territory of the basic health unit was elaborated. In this proposal, an action plan was established with the following critical nodes: lack of physical activity aimed at hypertensive people, inadequate eating habits, non-voluntary adherence of hypertensive patients to medical treatment and high level of anxiety. It is expected that with the actions proposed in the action plan, the number of sedentary hypertensive patients will be reduced to within the coverage area. Finally, we aim to achieve greater control of this disease, improving the health of hypertensive patients and decreasing the attendance of the basic health unit for this demand.
