RELEVÂNCIA DAS PRÁTICAS INTERPROFISSIONAIS E DAS ESTRATÉGIAS DE CUIDADO INTEGRADO PARA IDOSOS HIPERTENSOS NA ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA À SAÚDE: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

OBJECTIVE: To critically analyze the scientific evidence regarding the importance and impacts of interprofessional practices and integrated care strategies in the management of systemic arterial hypertension in older adults within the context of Primary Health Care. METHODOLOGY: Literature review conducted between January and May 2025, with searches in PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane Library databases. Studies published in the last five years addressing interprofessional practices and integrated care in the management of hypertension in older adults in Primary Health Care were selected. Selection followed the criteria proposed by Galvão, Pansani, and Harrad, and the Joanna Briggs Institute, using the PICO strategy to define the research question. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Nine studies were included, demonstrating that interprofessional care in Primary Health Care improves blood pressure control, increases treatment adherence, and promotes quality of life in hypertensive older adults. Collaborative work among health professionals enables integrated and individualized interventions, favoring the clinical and psychosocial management of hypertension. The use of digital technologies and home follow-up strengthen the therapeutic bond and expand access to care. Despite the benefits, challenges such as inadequate training and resistance to collaborative models still limit the full implementation of these practices. CONCLUSION: Interprofessional practices and integrated care in Primary Health Care have significant positive impacts on the management of hypertension in older adults, promoting better clinical control, quality of life, and rationalization of health resources. Strengthening these approaches through professional training, effective communication, use of technologies, and patient-centered strategies is recommended to ensure comprehensive and humanized care.
