ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are important public health problems in the maternal and child health context, as they are associated with increased maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. During pregnancy, these conditions may contribute to complications such as preeclampsia, preterm birth, fetal growth abnormalities, and an increased future risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. In the municipality of Alcantil, Paraíba, Brazil, there is a need to strengthen preventive strategies for pregnant women receiving care in Primary Health Care (PHC). Objective: To strengthen comprehensive care and promote preventive actions targeting arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus during pregnancy. Methodology: This was a descriptive and applied intervention with a qualitative approach, conducted with pregnant women enrolled in and receiving prenatal care at the municipality’s Basic Health Units. Participants included pregnant women undergoing regular prenatal follow-up who voluntarily agreed to participate in the proposed activities. Results and Discussion: The intervention included situational assessment, risk stratification, intensified blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring, individual counseling, and collective health education activities. Topics included healthy eating, appropriate weight gain, safe physical activity, and recognition of warning signs, complemented by home visits conducted by community health workers. Increased adherence to prenatal care, improvements in clinical records and follow-up, and stronger bonds between pregnant women and the multiprofessional health care team were observed. Conclusion: The intervention contributed to improving prenatal care, strengthening preventive practices, and promoting early identification of risk factors, thereby contributing to the reduction of maternal and fetal complications and improving maternal and child health care.
