Abstract

Systemic Arterial Hypertension is a chronic disease with high prevalence and low control rates, considered one of the main public health problems as it brings countless damages to the well-being of its sufferers, reducing the quality and life expectancy when not treated properly. Systemic Arterial Hypertension is one of the main modifiable risk factors and has a strong relationship with cardiovascular diseases, being the main cause of death in Brazil and worldwide. Still, one of the biggest obstacles to its control is non-adherence to drug and non-drug treatment. It is extremely important to modify harmful habits that affect SAH and to achieve this, Health Education work in Family Health Strategy units is essential. The present work aims to propose an intervention project to control the problem of Systemic Arterial Hypertension in the community assisted by team 68 of the Dídimo Otto Kummer Family Health Unit, using Situational Strategic Planning (PES), acting on the critical nodes presented and improving adherence to medication treatment, modifying harmful habits, improving lifestyle and encouraging guided self-care, in addition to strengthening bonds between the healthcare team and the community.
