Proposta de um plano de intervenção no controle dos casos de hipertensão em unidade de saúde do município de Estrela de Alagoas

Abstract

Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) is a chronic, silent disease that increases with advancing age and is characterized by high levels of blood pressure in the arteries. It is described as a silent disease because, in general, high blood pressure does not present symptoms immediately, but in the long term, if left untreated, it may show mainly: dizziness, nasal bleeding, shortness of breath, headaches and blurred vision, thus triggering serious health, being responsible for 14% of the total admissions of the Unified Health System (SUS in Brazilian Portuguese), where 17.2% occur due to stroke (AVC in Brazilian Portuguese) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), generating a great socioeconomic impact due to the increase in health systems costs. The need to carry out this intervention project is justified, since of the total number of hypertensive patients informed in the area within the scope of the Family Health Strategy 02 - Dr. Gastão Leão Rêgo, only 36.9% use medication controlled and 12.1% practice some type of physical activity, in addition to other risk factors present in the community such as: age, smoking, physical inactivity and alcohol consumption. This paper aims to propose an intervention plan to increase adherence to treatments for systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) of users assisted by the Family Health Strategy 02 - Doctor Gastão Leão Rêgo from the municipality of Estrela de Alagoas / AL. For the development of the intervention plan, Situational Strategic Planning (PES in Brazilian Portuguese) was used in addition to a narrative review of the literature considering clinical trials and cross-sectional studies, related to the modalities of further study and publication, using Lilacs databases as a research source, PubMed, Scielo and Google Scholar, without language restriction. It is expected that with the intervention project, ESF 02 will be able to generate a change in the community's life habits, with the users' adherence to drug and non-drug treatment, in addition to the co-responsibility of the treatment, developing autonomy for individuals and improving the relationship between users and health professionals.
