Objective: the aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of non-adherence to antihypertensive drug treatment and its association with factors bio-socio-economic and welfare. Method: it was a descriptive, cross-sectional study, performed with 422 hypertensive individuals. Data were collected through home interviews, conducted between December 2011 and March 2012. Results: the results showed that the respondents were mostly female, married, elderly, low income and little time of diagnosis. Were considered non adherent to medication 42.65% of participants. Non-Caucasian hypertensive patients, with fewer than eight years of schooling, who did not regularly attend doctor's appointments, took more than two anti-hypertensive medications and did not have private health insurance, showed higher likelihood of not complying with the drug treatment. Conclusion: these fi ndings suggest that hypertensive patients with unfavorable socioeconomic characteristics and diffi culty of access to the service require different interventions in order to encourage them to adhere to medication treatment.
Objetivo: verificar os fatores associados à percepção de estudantes de enfermagem e medicina quanto à presença da família durante a ressuscitação cardiopulmonar e/ou procedimentos invasivos. Métodos: estudo descritivo e transversal realizado com 105 concluintes dos cursos de enfermagem e medicina de três universidades brasileiras. Os dados foram coletados entre maio e agosto de 2021, por meio de formulário on-line e analisados a partir da estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: a maioria demonstrou ser contrária à presença familiar. Estiveram associados a percepções mais favoráveis: desejar acompanhar o atendimento de familiar, acreditar que a presença é um direito da família e que autorizaria essa presença durante a prática profissional, bem como o contato teórico ou prático com o cuidado centrado na família. Conclusão: sugere-se que durante a formação os estudantes aprendam sobre o cuidado centrado na família para desenvolver percepções mais favoráveis acerca da presença familiar na ressuscitação e/ou procedimentos invasivos
