Abstract(s)
A hipertensão arterial é uma doença cardíaca que tem como causa vários fatores de risco que são intrínsecos ao ser humano. Segundo Hans-Dieter F. (2008) “A hipertensão é uma das doenças crónicas mais frequentes”.
Com este estudo, pretendeu-se fazer uma pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica, com o objetivo de conhecer alguns fatores de risco da hipertensão arterial.
Para obter informação sobre alguns dos fatores de risco da hipertensão arterial, foi necessário reunir informações, analisar os factos, verificar qual a melhor forma de atuar para a prevenção e eliminação de alguns fatores de risco por parte dos profissionais de saúde, nomeadamente os enfermeiros. Para o estudo procedeu-se à pesquisa de vários documentos (artigos e revistas científicas), sobre a problemática em estudo.
Os resultados obtidos das diferentes pesquisas indicaram que a obesidade foi o fator de risco mais citado entre todos os artigos científicos e revistas pesquisados.
O sedentarismo, o consumo excessivo de álcool, o tabagismo, o baixo nível de atividade física, a alimentação inadequada, a idade, o stress e a hereditariedade também foram fatores de risco referidos por vários autores durante a pesquisa e elaboração deste estudo.
Entre muito outros fatores de risco, sem se ter retirado importância a estes, neste estudo conclui-se também, que existem fatores de risco citados por poucos autores, tal como ser do sexo masculino, a presença de diabetes e história cardiovascular pessoal.
Constatou-se ainda que alguns fatores de risco apenas foram citados unicamente por um autor: privação do sono, exposição ao ruído, ansiedade, irritabilidade, instabilidade na família ou no local de trabalho, instabilidade social e consumo de substâncias ilícitas.
