• Abstract: According to the 2020 Brazilian Guidelines on Arterial Hypertension, arterial hypertension (AH) is a multifactorial clinical condition characterized by sustained elevation of blood pressure levels ≥ 140 and/or 90 mmHg. It is frequently associated with metabolic disorders, target organ damage, among other manifestations, which is aggravated by the presence of other diseases and/or risk factors, such as obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this project was to provide guidance through conversations and an educational folder created by the project's creators, explaining the benefits of changing lifestyle habits to improve high blood pressure. Based on this perspective, the idea was to guide patients in a UBS in the midwest of Santa Catarina. This study is a research with a qualitative approach in the health area of ​​patients with arterial hypertension. It was intended to cover a large number of hypertensive patients, so that it would be possible to clarify doubts and improve the quality of life of these patients. We have the idea that this health education should be carried out on a continuous basis, so that it is possible to observe more and more long-lived patients with a good quality of life
