Abstract

Systemic Arterial Hypertension and Diabetes are prevalent chronic pathologies in Brazil and worldwide. They are considered public health problems responsible for high numbers of morbidity and mortality, their aggravations and complications cause serious health problems and significantly affect the quality of life of patients and represent a great expense for the health sector, especially for the public sphere. Health care for patients with hypertension and diabetes is a challenge that requires health services to work on care and prevention, which goes beyond drug therapy. In the area covered by the Family Health Strategy Urbano II, in the city of Junqueiro, there is a high number of patients with systemic arterial hypertension and diabetes who, even with continuous use of medication, have uncontrolled blood pressure and glycemic levels. This work proposes the elaboration of an intervention project that, through knowledge, educational and health actions, preventive activities, changes in lifestyle and reorganization and strengthening of the work process, allows greater control of blood pressure and glycemic levels in these patients. For the present study, a bibliographic research was carried out in the database of the Virtual Health Library to contribute to the elaboration of the theoretical framework. The project was designed following situational strategic planning. From the implementation of this intervention project, the expected results are the improvement in the level of knowledge of patients about hypertension and diabetes, about related care and the risk of complications and diseases, greater adherence to promotion and prevention actions and changes in lifestyle, improvement in the health conditions and quality of life of these patients and an optimization in the work process related to health care in the Urban Family Health Strategy II.
