NURSE’S PERCEPTION OF EMBRACEMENT AS A CARE TOOL FOR SYSTEMIC ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW

Abstract

This article sought to understand the perception of Primary Health Care nurses regarding bonding and reception as tools for integral care for users with systemic arterial hypertension, through scientific evidence available in the literature. This is an integrative literature review that aimed to analyze scientific publications on the subject. The selection occurred in the MEDLINE, LILACS, and BDENF databases. Descriptors were used along with Boolean operators for the cross-referencing: “Hypertension” OR “Primary Health Care” OR “User Welcoming”. The interpretation of the results makes it possible to identify that scientific evidence describes nurses’ perceptions regarding the use of soft technologies for patients diagnosed with or monitored for systemic arterial hypertension in Primary Health Care as a facilitating agent for the active search of users to form groups, providing the transfer of correct information for the patient to continue treatment. It is concluded that the reception and bonding of the nursing team in Primary Care strengthen care by promoting more welcoming attention in the treatment of people with systemic arterial hypertension. However, organizational and training challenges still hinder its effectiveness.
