Abstract

We proposed to describe the adhesion to the antihypertensive non-pharmacologic treatment among users from a school health center (SHC) from the city of Umuarama, Parana state, Brazil. This is an observational, transversal, and descriptive study for all the hypertensive people diagnosticated with primary arterial hypertension, registered and accompanied in the SHC in Umuarama, until year 2003. Dates were obtained through a structured interview with closed questions related to dietary inputs, smoking and alcoholism, stress, and practice of physical activities. The percentage of adhesion to the non-pharmacologic treatment was identified, as well as the characterization of the hypertensive patients. It is concluded that the adhesion to the non-pharmacologic treatment did not occur in most of the interviewed patients, especially with relation to the diet and physical activities. Descriptors: hypertension; lifestyle; patient compliance.
