A importância da redução dos fatores de risco para complicações da hipertensão e do diabetes na qualidade de vida de usuários da unidade de saúde Candidés, em Divinópolis - Minas Gerais

Abstract

Hypertension and diabetes have become a public health problem due to premature deaths or disabilities of patients who are victims of their complications and morbidities. The situational diagnosis carried out at the Candidés Health Unit, located in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, showed a high incidence of hypertensive and diabetic patients, being that many patients did not present control of their disease, making it difficult to prevent acute and chronic complications, a situation aggravated by lack of orientations to the individual. Therefore, a bibliographic review was carried out in the SciELO database and Cadernos of the Ministry of Health to support the elaboration of an action plan that could inform, raise awareness, improve the quality of life of hypertensive and diabetics accompanied in the unit, and reduce social and economic impacts to the public health of the municipality. It is hoped that the materialization of the proposed actions will result in patient education and thus avoid complications of hypertension and diabetes, guaranteeing the improvement in the quality of life of these individuals. The intervention will take place with the accomplishment of operative groups, educational lectures, referrals to Hiperdia center, inclusion of references and counter-reference in the work process and home visits to monitor the correct use of the medication.
