Resumo: | Medicinal plants are plants that contain in their parts, organs or structures, chemical substances that can be used for the treatment of illnesses, such as diabetes mellitus, offering an anti-diabetic or hypoglycemic action, or in systemic arterial hypertension, through their hypotensive and tranquilizing properties. The aim of the study was to investigate the use of these plants by patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and/or systemic arterial hypertension, attended in a basic health unit, in the municipality of Caucaia - CE. The study was quantitative, transversal, with sampling by convenience sampling method done from March to May in the year of 2019. 102 people were interviewed, of whom 29,4% made use of medicinal plants. Ninety percent of them were women, 61,27 years old on average (DP±8,61), with 63,3% having incomplete elementary schooling. Eighteen different species have been verified. It is concluded that the use of medicinal plants is mainly associated with popular knowledge, resulting in possible inadequate use. However, it was observed that the plants used can help in the treatment of diseases, if employed in a correct manner. Further studies are needed for the proper application of this practice. |

O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar o uso destas plantas por pacientes diagnosticados com diabetes do tipo 2 e/ou hipertensão arterial sistêmica atendidos na unidade básica de saúde do município de Caucaia-CE. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, quantitativo, transversal, com amostra por método de amostragem por conveniência, realizado nos meses de março a maio de 2019. Foram entrevistadas 102 pessoas, 90% mulheres, das quais 29,4% usavam plantas medicinais. Estes usuários, com idade média 61,27 anos (DP±8,61), possuindo ensino fundamental incompleto 63,3%. Foram verificadas 18 espécies diferentes de plantas medicinais. Conclui-se que o uso de plantas medicinais parte, principalmente, do conhecimento popular, podendo resultar em uso inadequado. Porém, observou-se que as plantas utilizadas podem auxiliar no tratamento de doenças, se empregadas de forma adequada, sendo necessários mais estudos para a devida aplicação desta prática.Centro de Inovação em Biodiversidade e Saúde - Farmanguinhos/Fiocruz2020-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/81210.32712/2446-4775.2019.812Revista Fitos; Vol. 14 No. 3 (2020); 341-354Revista Fitos; Vol. 14 Núm. 3 (2020); 341-354Revista Fitos; v. 14 n. 3 (2020); 341-3542446-47751808-9569reponame:Revista Fitosinstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporhttps://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/812/690https://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/812/691Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Fitoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRodrigues, Leonardo da SilvaSobreira, Iveliny Emmanuelle Mesquita Mello2020-09-30T14:33:58Zoai:ojs.revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br:article/812Revistahttps://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/PUBhttp://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/oairevistafitos@far.fiocruz.br || eugenio.telles@far.fiocruz.br2446-47752446-4775opendoar:2020-09-30T14:33:58Revista Fitos - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)false |
