Evaluación de programas de prevención de hipertensión arterial en embarazadas adolescentes.

Abstract

This study focused focused on the evaluation of programs for the prevention of high blood pressure in pregnant adolescents, with the main objective being to analyze, through bibliographic reviews, the results of the evaluation of programs for the prevention of high blood pressure in pregnant adolescents. A bibliographic methodology was used to examine relevant documentary sources that addressed the relationship between teenage pregnancy and high blood pressure. Among the results, it was revealed that Scielo magazine constituted the highest percentage (10%) of the total sample investigated, highlighting the importance and contributions of this publication. In addition, other key resources that contributed to the understanding of the problem were identified, including clinical guidelines, web documents, and articles from other academic databases. However, it was observed that there are programs aimed at the prevention of high blood pressure, but from a general view and not by age group, for this reason the significant lack of specific programs for pregnant adolescents is notable, which underlines the need for design and implement more targeted interventions. It was also evident that these programs do not always include adequate monitoring tools, such as quarterly control sheets, which limits the ability to effectively monitor the health of this population with high blood pressure. In conclusion, the creation and implementation of programs is recommended that allow individualized care to be provided through specific activities that allow for better control and prevention of high blood pressure and thus avoid complications during pregnancy.
