“…Contrary to data in the national literature [8][9][10][11] , the most important finding in this study was the high frequency of blood pressure measurement reported at most medical visits (85.8%), even though far from that which should be required, ie, blood pressure measurement in 100% of the patients.…”

“…This recommendation is required because of the characteristic blood pressure fluctuations 10 . Reeves 12 , when considering this aspect, reported that blood pressure varies both from minute to minute with a standard deviation of approximately 4 mmHg for the systolic reading and 2-3 mmHg for the diastolic reading, and throughout the day and on different days, with a variation of 5-12 mmHg for systolic blood pressure and 6-8 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure.…”

“…In the city of São Paulo, considering 500 medical visits to a university-affiliated hospital, blood pressure readings occurred in 39% of the medical visits. In the city of Sorocaba, in the state of São Paulo, a study of the medical records of hypertensive patients showed that blood pressure had been recorded in 68% of the first medical visits 10,11 . Another important aspect is the number of blood pressure measurements required for the diagnosis of hypertension, which was consensually recommended as at least 2 readings on 2 or more occasions.…”

“…In a study conducted in a hospital outpatient clinic of São Paulo, it was noted that in 67% of queries did not exist the value of blood pressure recorded in the chart, even though in the sample charts of patients seen in the League of hypertension, where necessarily the pressure must be measured and annotated. 17 Another potential source of error that deserves highlight is the rounding of BP measurement values and may lead to incorrect diagnosis and improper driving of the treatment of hypertension. The error seems to have digital preference beginning already in professional training.…”

“…Observational study with nursing students showed clear preference at zero and only 16% for finished values by other digits. 17 Given these possibilities that can result in errors, it is essential that responsible for carrying out the procedure are properly advised and trained to reach correct pressure. 15 A study of health professional values shows that 87,56% of them found it necessary more information on the BP measurement, specifically about the material, patient and observer.…”

Objective: To validate an instrument for assessment of knowledge of nursing students about the blood pressure measurement. Method: methodological study conducted with 27 judges nurses, teachers of the discipline of semiology and / or semiotics, with at least 1 year of experience in the disciplines, in three stages: literature review for the development of the knowledge questionnaire, submission to the judges; and content validation by the Kappa index, accepting the value > 0,61, and content Validity Index (CVI ) > 0,75. Results: The 12 questions obtained Kappa and CVI within the parameters established for content validity, 7 showed perfect concordance index and 5 required modifications. Conclusion: It was not necessary remove questions of the instrument, which expresses that they have representation and extension about the domain of interest, facilitating the assessment of knowledge

This study intended to identify, in the way of life of hypertensive patients, connections which could clarify their compliance of hypertension treatment, to understand dialectical relationship of the assistance offered by a Family Healthcare Program expressed through contradictions and coincidences in the patients' way of life, and to create an educative program according to the emancipatory pedagogy based on Paulo Freire's conception of emancipatory education, with themes related to h ypertensive patients' required needs. The phenomenon "way of life" was grasped on the grounds of the theoretical and methodological aspects of the historical and dialectical materialism. The interviews, held with 11 hypertensive patients, were submitted to the analysis of the speech procedures, which showed the way of life of these patients. It can be represented by the following: beliefs, feelings, beyondindividual, under-control pressure, out-of-control pressure and hypertension causes These categories w ere analyzed according to dialectical categories -the subjective and the objective -and the health-illness-care process. Hypertensive patients' daily life shows many contradictions related to the treatment needed and the illness not assumed as it is; the need of changing habits and human values which oppose to these changes; the real impossibility of controlling pressure levels due to daily life conditions such as nervousness and financial and familiar problems. Once many contradictions in these patients' way of life have been identified, this study sugests the improvement of the acceptance of hypertension treatment by means of emancipatory education, according to Paulo Freire's theory. Nursing has to accept this reality, approach to it, and ethically change its own practice in order to show hypertensive patients under the care of nurses a better way towards their autonomy.
