Plan de intervención cardiorrespiratorio mediante fitball en pacientes adultos hipertensos que acuden a consulta externa del hospital básico Sigchos

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic disease that causes high rates of death worldwide, as it is primary to cerebrovascular diseases that are often fatal, the first treatment of choice is pharmacological, which despite its benefits on blood pressure levels, it also causes many side effects; the development and alternative therapeutic interventions that contribute to improving the quality of life and increasing the life expectancy of this population are essential. Thus, in this research, it was proposed to design a cardiorespiratory intervention plan using fitball in hypertensive adult patients who attend the HBS. For this, a bibliographic review of the scientific literature was initially carried out, from which 5 articles were obtained that fulfilled the descriptors, and the inclusion-exclusion criteria, in this way the cardiorespiratory plan was structured through the use of the fitball, with a duration of 3 months, frequency 3 times a week and sessions of 30 minutes. This plan was validated by experts and quantified with a content validation coefficient (CVCt) of 1.00 after the corrections suggested by the experts. The plan was then shared with interested professionals who generally indicated that they were partially and totally satisfied with the plan. Therefore, it is concluded that the cardiorespiratory intervention plan through fitball in hypertensive adult patients who attend the HBS, is valid and applicable to reduce blood pressure levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases in hypertensive patients.
