Abstract
In occupational health actions that aimed at the clinical outcome of Hypertension (HBP) are directed in the form of informative lectures and prevalence data. The objective was to determine the level of knowledge of hypertension in employees of an educational institution in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre / RS as a strategy for education and health promotion. Three meetings were held that consisted of evaluating the knowledge of hypertension, anthropometric data (IMC index) and physical activity level (IPAQ). Blood pressure (BP) was measured at each meeting. Statistical analysis was performed through the descriptive analysis of the variables: hypertension prevalence, blood pressure levels, level of knowledge about hypertension, mean±SD, percentage. It was considered statistically significant p <0.05. The sample consisted of 35 employees, 57.1% female and 42.9% were male. Five new hypertensive stage 1 were discovered, the classification of HBP, optimal n = 14 (40%), normal n = 11 (31.4%), borderline n = 3 (8.6%), hypertension stage 1 = n 7 (20%). In the field “concept” most employees did not associate the term “high pressure” with hypertension disease. As for the “risk factors” and “complications” 48.6% associated with nervousness hypertension and most participants believe that HBP leads to health complications. In the treatment 28.6% know the non pharmacological treatment. The domain “prevention” returned 100% correct when it was inquired about the prevention of hypertension. Health education programs seek to facilitate access to information about the disease, aiming at prevention, better treatment adherence and quality of life.

Resumo
Na saúde do trabalhador ações que visam o desfecho clínico de Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS) são direcionadas na forma de palestras informativas e dados de prevalência. O objetivo foi verificar o nível de conhecimento de HAS em colaboradores de uma instituição de ensino na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre/RS como estratégia de educação e promoção em saúde. Foram realizados três encontros que consistia na avaliação do conhecimento em HAS, dados antropométricos (índice de Massa corporal) e nível de atividade física (IPAQ). A Pressão Arterial (PA) foi mensurada em cada encontro. A análise estatística foi realizada por meio da análise descritiva das variáveis: prevalência de HAS, níveis pressóricos, nível de conhecimento sobre HAS, média±DP, percentual. Foi considerado estatisticamente significativo p<0,05. A amostra foi composta de 35 colaboradores, 57,1% do sexo feminino e 42,9% do sexo masculino. Foram descobertos 5 novos hipertensos estágio 1, quanto à classificação de PA, ótima n=14 (40%), normal n= 11 (31,4%), limítrofe n=3 (8,6%), hipertensão estágio 1 n=7 (20%). No domínio “conceito” grande parte dos colaboradores não associou o termo “pressão alta” a doença HAS. Quanto aos “fatores de risco” e “complicações” 48,6% associa nervosismo a hipertensão e a maioria dos participantes acredita que a HAS leva a complicações na saúde. Já no tratamento 28,6% desconhecem o tratamento não farmacológico. O domínio “prevenção” obteve 100% de acertos quando indagamos sobre prevenção de HAS. Programas de educação em saúde buscam facilitar o acesso a informações sobre esta doença, buscando a prevenção, uma melhor adesão ao tratamento e qualidade de vida.
