ABSTRACT

Objective: estimate the prevalence of high-risk behaviors and cardiovascular risk factors in hypertensive population assisted by the teams of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in a northern city of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: This is cross-sectional study with representative sample of hypertensive population registered by teams of the FHS. The prevalence of risk factors and behaviors were compared between men and women using the chi-square test, assuming a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Results: The study included 720 people. Among the variables investigated, we highlight the following risk behaviors: inactivity, low fruit intake and consumption of red meat with visible fat. Some risk factors were more prevalent among men and higher proportions of values for uncontrolled hypertension were also recorded for men (57.6%). Conclusions: The results showed a high prevalence of risk factors and high-risk behaviors for cardiovascular disease in this population, especially among men.


Objetivo: estimar a prevalência de comportamentos e fatores de risco cardiovascular em hipertensos assistidos pelas equipes da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) em uma cidade do norte de Minas Gerais. Método: Trata-se de estudo transversal, com amostra de hipertensos cadastrados em equipes da ESF. As prevalências de fatores e comportamentos de risco foram comparadas entre homens e mulheres por meio do teste qui-quadrado, assumindo-se um nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05). Resultados: Participaram do estudo 720 pessoas. Dentre as variáveis investigadas, destacam-se os seguintes comportamentos de risco: sedentarismo, o baixo consumo de frutas e o consumo de carnes vermelhas com gordura aparente. Alguns fatores de risco foram mais prevalentes entre os homens e proporções maiores de valores para hipertensão não controlada também foram registradas para os homens (57,6%). Conclusão: Os resultados revelaram elevada prevalência de fatores e comportamentos de risco para doença cardiovascular para a população estudada, especialmente entre os homens.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar o impacto de uma intervenção para profissionais de saúde por meio de indicadores de saúde sobre mudanças de comportamento das pessoas que vivem com a Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS).Método: estudo epidemiológico, experimental, controlado. O estudo foi dividido em duas etapas. Na primeira, a amostragem foi probabilística e, nesta avaliação, participaram do estudo 720 pessoas. Na segunda etapa, foi feita intervenção, por meio de educação em saúde, para profissionais de duas equipes da Saúde da Família. Após a intervenção, foi feita nova abordagem de 102 pacientes cadastrados nas equipes de saúde que passaram pela intervenção (casos) e outros 102 pacientes cadastrados em equipes que não passaram pela intervenção (controles). Resultados: houve mudança estatisticamente significante na adesão medicamentosa (p=0,003), com melhor adesão do grupo que passou pela intervenção. Conclusão: a intervenção promoveu maior adesão medicamentosa para os pacientes assistidos pelas equipes capacitadas, mas sem impacto sobre mudança nos hábitos de vida.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo: Analisar a correlação entre adesão medicamentosa e qualidade de vida para pessoas hipertensas assistidas em Unidades Básicas de Saúde. Métodos: Estudo transversal, analítico, com amostra aleatória e representativa. Avaliou-se a correlação entre qualidade de vida e adesão medicamentosa, utilizando-se o Minichal Brasil e a escala Morisky de adesão medicamentosa. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 720 pessoas, acompanhadas em 13 Unidades Básicas de Saúde. A média de idade foi de 62,5 anos. O coeficiente de Spearman revelou uma correlação inversa (Rho = -0,130) e estatisticamente significante (p=0,001), de fraca magnitude. Conclusão: A correlação inversa significa que maior adesão (maiores escores na escala Morisky) equivale a melhor qualidade de vida (menores escores da escala Minichal Brasil). A fraca correlação entre qualidade de vida e adesão medicamentosa reforça a ideia de que qualidade de vida para hipertensos está relacionada a outros fatores, sugerindo novas investigações.


Abstract Objective: To analyze the correlation between medication adherence and quality of life for hypertensive people attended at Basic Health Units (UBS - Unidade Básica de Saúde). Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study with a random and representative sample. The correlation between quality of life and medication adherence was evaluated by using the Minichal Brazil and the Morisky scale of medication adherence. Results: The study included 720 people monitored in 13 Basic Health Units. The mean age was 62.5 years old. The Spearman's coefficient revealed an inverse (Rho = -0.130) and statistically significant (p = 0.001) correlation of low magnitude. Conclusion: The inverse correlation means that greater adherence (higher scores of Morisky scale) equals better quality of life (lower scores of Brazil Minichal scale). The weak correlation between quality of life and medication adherence reinforces the idea that quality of life for hypertensive people is related to other factors, suggesting further research.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Experimental studies on the effectiveness of educational interventions to improve patient care are scarce, especially for low-resources settings. This study investigated the effects of 2 educational interventions on the treatment of hypertensive patients in primary health care in Brazil. METHODS: Forty-one physicians were randomly assigned either to an "active educational intervention" (21 physicians) or to a "passive educational intervention" (20 physicians). The former comprised 1 small group discussion of routine practices, 1 outreach visit, and 3 reminders. The latter consisted of delivery of printed guidelines. Measures of quality of treatment provided for hypertensive patients (181 patients of physicians from the active intervention; 136 patients of physicians from the passive intervention) were obtained through patient interview and charts review, before and 3 months after the intervention. Chi-square and independent t-tests were performed for comparison between the conditions. RESULTS: The groups did not differ before the study. After the intervention, the active intervention group outperformed the passive intervention group in several measures, such as improved prescription of antihypertensive drugs (80% of patients of physicians from the active intervention vs 51% patients of physicians from the passive intervention; p < .01), prescription of aspirin (18% vs 6%; p < .01) and hypolipidemic drugs for high-risk patients (39% vs 21%; p < .01), dietary counseling (76% vs 61%; p < .01), guidance on cardiovascular risk (20% vs 3%; p < .01). Patient outcomes did not differ. DISCUSSION: A multifaceted intervention based on review of practices improved treatment of hypertensive patients in a low-resource setting whereas delivery of guidelines did not help. None of the interventions affected patient outcomes.

ABSTRACT

The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) is used to stratify cardiovascular risk. This study sought to identify the prevalence of risk factors used in the FRS and the use of drugs that reduce cardiovascular risk among hypertensive patients attended by the Family Health Strategy (FHS). It is cross-sectional study, which evaluated a random sample of hypertensive patients in the FHS in northern Minas Gerais. Data were collected through interviews and from medical records. 505 hypertensive patients were evaluated in 9 municipalities of the region, with a predominance of women; 325 (64.4%), mean age of 66.4 years. In 90% of hypertensive patients there was at least one associated risk factor. The grouping of three or more factors occurred in 79 (15.7%) patients. Dyslipidemia was found in 188 (37.2%), diabetes in 101 (20%) and smoking in 36 (7.1%). The use of anti-hypertensive drugs was observed in 481 (95.2%) patients. The use of other cardioprotective drugs was higher among patients with 3 or more risk factors: 45.6% used antiplatelet and 27.8% used lipid-lowering drugs. The prevalence of risk factors from the FRS in the population studied was quite high and the use of cardioprotective drugs was seen to be restricted. Strategies to increase the use of FRS may improve the management of hypertension in the FHS.

ABSTRACT

O Escore de Framingham (EF) é utilizado para estratificar o risco cardiovascular. O presente estudo objetivou identificar, entre os hipertensos assistidos pela Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF), a prevalência dos fatores de risco utilizados no EF e do uso de drogas que reduzem o risco cardiovascular. Trata-se de estudo transversal, que avaliou amostra aleatória de hipertensos da ESF no norte de Minas Gerais. Os dados foram coletados em entrevistas e consulta aos prontuários. Foram avaliados 505 hipertensos em 9 municípios da região, com predomínio de mulheres, 325 (64,4%) e média de idade de 66,4 anos. Em 90% dos hipertensos houve pelo menos 1 fator de risco associado. O agrupamento de 3 ou mais fatores ocorreu em 79 (15,7%) pacientes. Dislipidemia foi encontrada em 188 (37,2%), diabetes em 101 (20%) e tabagismo em 36 (7,1%). O uso de anti-hipetensivo foi observado em 481 (95,2%) hipertensos. O uso de outras drogas cardioprotetoras foi maior entre pacientes 3 ou mais fatores de risco: 45,6% usavam antiagregantes plaquetários e 27,8% usavam hipolipemiantes. A prevalência de fatores de risco do EF na população estudada mostrou-se bastante elevada e o uso de drogas cardioprotetoras mostrou-se restrito. Estratégias para ampliar o uso do EF podem melhorar o manejo da hipertensão arterial na ESF.
