Importância da interdisciplinaridade na condução do plano de ação para intervenção sobre a hipertensão arterial sistêmica, em Córrego Fundo - Minas Gerais

Abstract

Systemic hypertension was taken as the object of study of this document due to the situational diagnosis conducted in the coverage area of the Unidade de Atenção Primária à Saúde Cristino Antônio de Faria, Córrego Fundo, Minas Gerais. From this diagnosis, arterial hypertension was highlighted as one of the existing problems in the area and subsequently prioritized to be faced. The situational diagnosis was prepared by professionals team through the Rapid Estimation method. In September 2012, data were collected from secondary sources (existing records), active observation and interviews with key informants. Additionally, knowing the importance of nonpharmacological treatment of hypertension, the study also discusses and reviews the relevance of interdisciplinarity in the conduction of the action plan for intervention on hypertension. Thus, in addition to preparing an action plan for intervention on hypertensive disease in the coverage area, this study also assesses the importance of interdisciplinarity in the conduction of this interventionist proposal. The literature review shows that teamwork is a strategic resource of work organization that contributes to achieve better results and increase worker satisfaction in the tasks performed. However, many health workers are not prepared to exercise their activities in conjunction with other professionals. Often, each professional performs its function without knowledge of the objectives and priorities of the institution, and this undermines the continuity of actions and the team bonding.
