Abstract

Systemic Arterial Hypertension is a chronic disease, with progressive evolution and constitutes one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the population. There are several risk factors related to its occurrence and are often associated with quality of life. Considering the commitment to comprehensive care in family health approaches, the present study aims to produce an intervention proposal to improve the monitoring of hypertensive patients at the Basic Health Unit Councilor Maria José da Silva, São Sebastião, Alagoas. For the elaboration of the proposal, the situational diagnosis was made, followed by the bibliographic review and the Situational Strategic Planning. The critical nodes relevant to the care of hypertensive patients were: bad habits and inadequate lifestyle, low level of knowledge of the population about the disease, flaws in the approach to patients with arterial hypertension; inadequate health team work process. After that, the following measures were proposed: Formation of an operational group to make the population's lifestyle healthier; Health education regarding SAH and its risk factors; Implementation of a more effective reception system. With this intervention proposal, it is expected that the team will be able to reorganize the work process of the Health Unit, guide and raise awareness among the population about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and, thus, obtain an improvement in the quality of life of patients with Systemic Arterial Hypertension.
