Projeto de intervenção para diminuir o elevado índice de pacientes com Hipertensão Arterial da Unidade Básica de saúde do Bairro Industrial localizada no Município Juiz de Fora - Minas Gerais

Abstract

Systemic Arterial Hypertension is a chronic disease of high prevalence in Brazil and in the world, being the main morbidity found in the population of Ceramic’s area of coverage, of Team 99, of the Basic Health Unit of the Industrial District located in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. Hypertensive patients should be monitored, since the disease as a whole is asymptomatic and this complicates diagnosis and initiation of early treatment favoring future complications. In addition to neglected diagnosis, this is compounded by the patient's low adherence to the prescribed treatment, as well as the difficulty in changing life habits to avoid the consequences that the disease can cause, such as changes in the cardiovascular and renal systems.This project aims to elaborate an intervention project to reduce the high incidence of patients with arterial hypertension in the population and to increase the knowledge of the population of the area covered by the Basic Unit of Industrial Health on Systemic Arterial Hypertension, what are the factors of risks and what practices can be adopted to decrease their incidence, as well as guiding patients who have already been diagnosed with the disease. For the elaboration of the intervention plan will be used the Method of Strategic Situational Planning, in which a bibliographic research was carried out in the computerized databases such as Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACs) and ScientificElectronic Library Online (SCIELO).
