Prevalência de Hipelipidemia em pacientes do Programa Hiperdia: uma proposta de intervenção

Abstract

Hyperlipidemia in patients of a program called ¨Hiperdia¨ (program of patients with hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus) can have serious consequences, such as high risk for cardiovascular diseases, increased hospitalizations and deaths. This work is justified by the high prevalence of hyperlipidemia among patients with hypertension and diabetes of the ¨Hiperdia¨ Program. The aim of this study was to propose a plan of action to reduce the prevalence of hyperlipidemia in these patients. In order to achieve the objective, an intervention plan was developed, using the Strategic Situational Planning method. Based on information about the health situation, three critical nodes were defined and interventions to solve each critical node were established. The interventions presented the following focuses: (1) to establish adequate habits and lifestyles; (2) to increase the level of information on risk factors for hyperlipidemia, and (3) to improve the structure of health services to ensure care and access to exams and medications. It is hoped that the implementation of this action plan can generate satisfactory results to prevent hyperlipedemia and its complications, positively impacting the health of the patients of the ¨Hiperdia¨ program.
