“…Having this support may sometimes determine treatment success and a faster recovery, as the absence of such relations may generate challenges, constraints and/or hopelessness for people in a more fragile health condition, as it is the case of the hypertensive elderly [21].…”

Background: Social Networks are characterized by their dynamism and continuous exchange of information, being fundamental to face acute or chronic health conditions and their related problems. It is therefore believed that elderly hypertensive people are inserted in social networks formed through interactions that help them face chronic disease and that such structures include diverse aspects that affect the care processes that are directly related to the perceptions of these patients on hypertension and its treatment. Aim:To disclose social networks used by elderly hypertensive patients created through the health care offered by health professionals and/ or relatives. Method:Descriptive cross sectional study with a qualitative approach developed in two basic care urban units of a Northeastern Brazil municipality during February and March, 2016. The sample was composed of 26 elderly patients of both sexes registered in the selected units. Data collection took place through a semi-structured interview carried out at the patients' domiciles. Data was processed through the IRA-MUTEQ software and analyzed through the Descending Hierarchical Classification (DHC). Results:Were introduced in two axes: Axe 1: hypertension implications in the life of the elderly according to the following classification: Class 5: pharmacological treatment and side effects; Class 4: hypertension signs and symptoms; Axe 2: hypertension-based links formed with the different classes; Class 2: links that strengthen care; Class 1: pharmacological treatment and side effects; Class 3: professionals who promote hypertensive elderly patients' care.

Background: Because hypertension is a multifactorial clinical condition, primary care in this context consists in strategies for detecting and controlling the disease. Programs emphasizing this level of care incentive evaluative research as fundamental to generate mechanisms for quality assessment and control, as well as to provide information on the functioning and effectiveness of the health system. The present study aimed to evaluate the quality of health care provided for hypertensive users in primary health care. Methods and Findings:This is an evaluative research conducted by triangulation of methods in which the quantitative and qualitative approaches were simultaneously used through observation, application of questionnaires, interviews and focus group data including managers, workers and users of a primary health care unit. The study showed that the health service has fulfilled its role of welcoming users through multidisciplinary teams as a gateway to the public system. However, the link between the health team and the community has been gradually undermined by the implementation of spontaneous demand with risk classification, compromising the continuity of treatment for hypertension. Conclusions:Multidisciplinary team and empowerment of individuals are fundamental for the qualification of care. However, the care provided for hypertensive users in primary care has in most cases been fragmented after the implementation of the system of free access with risk classification. This fact points to the need to adapt the care needs of hypertensive users to the new health care model.

“…The formal supporting network is represented by health professionals and plays an important role of support to hypertensive people in case they feel any symptom or to clarify doubts. However, among all professions only the physician was mentioned as the professional patients sought out to clarify doubts, and participants said that is so because physicians are responsible for the diagnosis and prescription of drugs (75) . At least seven other articles emphasized the sovereign role played by physicians in drug therapy (27)(28)33,(76)(77)(78)(79) .…”

OBJECTIVE To identify knowledge produced about drug utilization by the elderly in the primary health care context from 2006 to 2014. METHOD An integrative review of the PubMed, LILACS, BDENF, and SCOPUS databases, including qualitative research papers in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. It excluded papers with insufficient information regarding the methodological description. RESULTS Search found 633 papers that, after being subjected to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, made up a corpusof 76 publications, mostly in English and produced in the United States, England, and Brazil. Results were pooled in eight thematic categories showing the current trend of drug use in the elderly, notably the use of psychotropics, polypharmacy, the prevention of adverse events, and adoption of technologies to facilitate drug management by the elderly. Studies point out the risks posed to the elderly as a consequence of changes in metabolism and simultaneous use of several drugs. CONCLUSION There is strong concern about improving communications between professionals and the elderly in order to promote an exchange of information about therapy, and in this way prevent major health complications in this population.
