Abstract
Objective: To identify strategies for the prevention of chronic kidney disease (CKD) from the perceptions of hypertensive users, registered in primary care. Methods: This is a descriptive and exploratory research with a qualitative approach. The sample of participants was obtained using the convenience method until information saturation. The research was carried out in a Basic Health Unit (UBS), located in the city of Dourados-Mato Grosso do Sul. The data collection was carried out through a semi-structured interview with 26 hypertensive users who were analyzed using the content analysis technique (BARDIN L, 2016). Results: Two categories were found, namely: Interview and dialogue to carry out CKD Prevention and Educational activities as a method for building healthy and adequate habits in controlling AH and preventing CKD. Conclusion: Activities for the prevention of CKD must be guided by dialogical educational practices, with the aim of promoting awareness about CKD and its relationship with arterial hypertension. In addition, it was noted that it is important to use the health teaching strategy on the treatment of hypertensive disease considering the context experienced by hypertensive patients.
