Resumo: | Systemic arterial hypertension is the most frequent among the cardiovascular diseases about 17 million people are suffering from arterial hypertension in Brazil. It is characterized by chronicity and multiplicity of associated factors, a long asymptomatic period and evolution to complications. Thus, there is an increasing need for a collective and multidisciplinary approach for obtaining more consistent and long lasting results in the control of this disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the profile of the participants of a Group of Hypertensive according to sex, age group, family and per capita income, occupation, participation in community groups, kind of health service they would seek in case of disease, frequency of the group meetings and the influence of the group as refers to controlling the high blood pressure. We used questionnaires, the records of the group meetings and the Primary Care Information System for collecting the data of the individuals from Vila Ipiranga, city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, who composed the sample under study. In addition, a questionnaire was applied for evaluating the influence of the group upon blood pressure control. The analysis showed that there were more women than men participating in the group; average age of over 60 years; more than 50% would seek the Health Unit in the first place in case of disease; the greater part is retired and participates in some religious group. As to the family and per capita income, the predominant groups are one to two minimum wages and one minimum wage respectively. The group meetings showed effective. All interviewed individuals stated that the group had helped controlling the blood pressure and that the meetings were important in the sense of providing information about the disease, promoting lifestyle changes and raising the awareness of the importance of following the treatment correctly. A longitudinal analysis, selecting the patients who participated three times or more, showed that 10 (76,92%) out of the 13 participants were able to lower their blood pressure, confirming the positive influence of the group for the control of arterial blood pressure. |

Apresenta características específicas do processo de cronicidade e multiplicidade de fatores associados; longo curso assintomático, além da evolução para complicações. Portanto, cada vez mais se comprova a necessidade de uma abordagem coletiva e multidisciplinar para se obter resultados mais consistentes e duradouros no controle da hipertensão arterial. Esse trabalho objetiva avaliar o perfil dos participantes do grupo de hipertensos segundo o sexo, a faixa etária, a renda familiar e per capita, a ocupação, a participação em grupos comunitários, o tipo de serviço de saúde ao qual recorreria em caso de doença, a freqüência no grupo de hipertensos e a influência deste grupo no que se refere ao controle da pressão arterial. Foram utilizadas as fichas A, a ata de reuniões do grupo de hipertensos e dados do levantamento do Sistema de Informação de Atenção Básica (SIAB) para obtenção dos dados das pessoas da amostra estudada, do bairro Vila Ipiranga, em Montes Claros (MG). Além disso, aplicou-se questionário para avaliar a influência do grupo no controle da pressão. Após análise dos dados, percebeu-se uma prevalência de mulheres no perfil dos participantes do grupo de hipertensos; uma idade média superior a 60 anos; mais da metade recorreriam à Unidade de Saúde em primeira instância em caso de doença; a ocupação predominante é aposentado/ pensionista e a maioria participa de grupo religioso. Quanto à renda familiar e à per capita, predominam as faixas de um a dois salários mínimos e menor que um salário mínimo, respectivamente. O grupo mostrou-se efetivo, já que todos os entrevistados relataram que ele contribuiu para o controle da pressão arterial, funcionando como importante instrumento no sentido de fornecer esclarecimentos acerca da doença, influenciar na mudança de hábitos de vida e conscientização quanto à importância de seguir o tratamento corretamente. Quando se faz uma avaliação longitudinal, selecionando os usuários que participaram três ou mais vezes, percebe-se que, dos 13, 10 (76,92%) evoluíram com diminuição dos níveis pressóricos e controle da PA, corroborando a influência positiva do grupo no controle da PA.Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (SBMFC)2008-11-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos Originais; Original Articlesapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.rbmfc.org.br/rbmfc/article/view/36510.5712/rbmfc3(12)365Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade; Vol. 3 No. 12 (2008); 290-298Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade; Vol. 3 Núm. 12 (2008); 290-298Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade; v. 3 n. 12 (2008); 290-2982179-79941809-5909reponame:Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (Online)instname:Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (SBMFC)instacron:SBMFCporenghttps://www.rbmfc.org.br/rbmfc/article/view/365/267https://www.rbmfc.org.br/rbmfc/article/view/365/1604Copyright (c) 2008 Daniela Lopes Gomes, Mário Sérgio Soares de Mário Sérgio Soares de Paula, Wilandell Neves Fernandes Rocha, Milena Pereira Saraivahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGomes, Daniela LopesMário Sérgio Soares de Paula, Mário Sérgio Soares deRocha, Wilandell Neves FernandesSaraiva, Milena Pereira2021-05-14T22:22:36Zoai:ojs.rbmfc.org.br:article/365Revistahttp://www.rbmfc.org.br/index.php/rbmfchttps://www.rbmfc.org.br/rbmfc/oai||david@sbmfc.org.br2179-79941809-5909opendoar:2021-05-14T22:22:36Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (Online) - Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (SBMFC)false |
