Atendimento odontológico a pacientes hipertensos na unidade básica de saúde de Campinhos – AL: proposta de intervenção interdisciplinar

Abstract

This work aims to develop an interdisciplinary intervention plan focused on dental care, aiming at comprehensive care for individuals with arterial hypertension assisted by the family health strategy in the basic health unit Campinhos - AL. Therefore, three stages were developed: situational diagnosis, bibliographic review and elaboration of the action plan, using the simplified situational strategic planning carried out by the health team in the period from April to June 2020. The causes of the problems, selected as critical nodes, were: inadequate work process at the BHU, unhealthy habits and lifestyles of users of SAH and lack of assistance in dental care for patients with SAH. The three operations proposed to face critical nodes were: to elaborate a programmed agenda for the care of hypertensive patients, the participation of the dental team in the treatment and monitoring of them, and the provision of educational lectures. The elaboration of this action plan made it possible for the health team to realize the importance of working in a comprehensive manner and still use a planning method as a tool for organizing the work process. With this, it is expected a more effective and comprehensive monitoring of patients with arterial hypertension.
