Abstract
The objective of the present research was to evaluate non-adherence to the treatment of systemic arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus in patients and to carry out health intervention. It was an interventionist study that sought to promote adherence to the treatment of Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) of patients seen in the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in a city in Pará, without any external funding, approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) evaluating information on before and after a health education intervention on the subject for the research subjects. Most patients do not forget to take their medication, do not eat fruits and vegetables in the diet and feel well treated in the FHS who are followed up. Adherence to treatment and self-care with food are of fundamental importance to avoid complications. As a result, there is a need for new health interventions and promotions in Basic Health Units to achieve greater adherence to drug treatment, increased physical activity and increased consumption of vegetables and fruits.
