O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a ocorrência de complicações associadas ao diabetes e identificar seus fatores de risco em indivíduos com diabetes mellitus assistidos pelo Programa Saúde da Família de Muriaé-MG. Foi realizado um estudo quantitativo, transversal no período de fevereiro a junho de 2009 na unidade do Programa de Saúde da Família (PSF) do bairro São Gotardo no município de Muriaé, MG. A amostra foi constituída por 50 pacientes. As informações de cada participante foram obtidas por meio de um questionário estruturado. As informações sobre a ocorrência de complicações crônicas do diabetes foram obtidas por meio da análise dos prontuários dos pacientes. Foi observado que 23 (46,0%) pacientes não apresentavam complicação da doença, enquanto 27 (54,0%) apresentavam pelo menos uma complicação, sendo as mais frequentes retinopatia, presente em 18 (66,67%) pacientes, doenças cardiovasculares (14, 51,85%) e neuropatia diabética (11, 40,74%). Os fatores de risco mais prevalentes foram sedentarismo (39, 78,0%), obesidade central (7, 74,0%) e HAS (35, 70,0%). Ainda são necessários grandes esforços na atenção primária ao paciente diabético com relação ao tratamento adequado da doença e à adesão de hábitos de vida saudáveis, pois a presença de complicações associadas ao estado de saúde geral dos pacientes diabéticos diminui significativamente a qualidade de vida desta população.
The aim of this work was to evaluate the pharmacotherapeutic profile of diabetic patients assisted by the Family Health Program in the city of Muriaé -MG. The work was carried out by quantitative cross-sectional study accomplished in the period of February to June of 2009 in the Family Health Program unit at São Gotardo, Muriaé. The sample was constituted by 50 patients presenting Diabetes mellitus. They were randomly chosen through the medical handbooks. Each subject information was obtained by interview, through a structured questionnaire, during visit to the patient's home, accompanied by an Health Agent. Of the appraised individuals, 64% are women and 36% are men, all presenting diabetes type 2. The predominant age group was among 50 to 69 years. Anti-diabetic drugs were used by 96% of the patients and most of them affirmed to use one or more drugs besides the drugs anti-diabetic. Adverse reactions and drug interactions were reported by, respectively, 18% and 38% of the subjects. Therefore, it is necessary the inclusion of the pharmacist to the multidisciplinary team that attends those diabetic patients, in order to insure the Pharmaceutical Care procedures.
