- Abstract
Background: Since the 2000s, there has been a plan in Brazil for the reorganization of care for Arterial Hypertension. However, there are still few studies that identify and classify its degree of implementation. Objective: To assess the degree of implementation of the Assistance Program for People with Hypertension. Method: This is evaluative research carried out in the Family Health Strategy in the city of Maringá-Paraná, between April and June 2013, with nurses from 63 teams. The instrument used evaluated the structural dimensions, care practice, and organization of care, with a maximum score of 337 points. Tertiles were adopted as criteria for classification: incipient (1st tertile), intermediate (2nd tertile), and advanced (3rd tertile). Results: The scores obtained ranged from 146.3 to 255.4 points. The Program was classified as advanced in four teams (6.3%) and intermediate in others (93.7%). In the structural dimension, all teams were advanced; in care practice, 16 teams were incipient, 43 intermediate, and four advanced; in the organization of care, four teams were incipient, 58 intermediate, and one advanced. Conclusion: There are weaknesses in the implementation of the Program concerning the organization and care provided to patients, requiring professional training and action based on public policies and protocols.
