• Abstract:

  Systemic arterial hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is often poorly controlled in the population. This Intervention Project aims to reduce the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension among patients in QNP 5 in Ceilândia-DF, through multidisciplinary actions that include educational programs for lifestyle changes, regular consultations for medication adjustment and continued physical exercise practices. The project will be developed in four stages: planning - which will include training the teams, identifying and calling on the target audience; intervention - which will include educational actions, consultations and supervised physical activities, carried out by a multidisciplinary team; monitoring - which will follow the progress of the actions implemented; and closure - which will evaluate the results obtained from the project. It is hoped that there will be a reduction in the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension and an advance in patients' knowledge of preventive health, resulting in the adoption of healthier lifestyle habits, better adherence to pharmacological therapy, as well as better self-management of their clinical conditions. The successful implementation of this project could serve as a model for other regions with similar characteristics, contributing to the reduction of uncontrolled hypertension rates at a national level. And it will provide valuable information for future public health initiatives and research.
