Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD) constitute a major health problem in Brazil and corresponds to about 70%of the causes of death. The most common are systemic arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, which require thepatients to be more closely controlled for its treatment and management². This study aimed to analyze the knowledge,attitudes and adherence to the treatment of individuals with arterial hypertension and associated type 2 diabetesmellitus, accompanied by a Family Health team. This was a cross-sectional, descriptive and prospective quantitativeapproach. The population consisted of patients diagnosed with hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus, enrolled inthe HIPERDIA program. Data were collected from August to November of 2014 through the Diabetes Knowledge ScaleQuestionnaire (DKN-A); Diabetes Attitudes Questionnaire (ATT-19) and Martín-Bayarre-Grade (MBG). 102 individualswere interviewed, the majority of whom were women, married, white, with low schooling, and with a median age of 68.5years. Everyone was on medication and most of them did not practice any kind of physical activity. An unsatisfactoryresult was found in relation to the knowledge about the disease, negative attitude regarding the management of thedisease, and partial adherence to the treatment. It is thus considered that individuals with hypertension and diabetesmellitus did not modify their attitudes regarding the adoption of healthy life habits for the more adequate coping of thedisease.(AU)
