Methods: Intervention study, contextualized development in the Southern Polyclinic of the Municipality of Sancti Spíritus in the period from 2016-2017, with a universe of 110 elderly people with arterial hypertension and 41 nurses, had four stages. In addition to the collection of information, structured interviews were carried out, review of documents: Kaff and Lawton scale in individual clinical records.
Results: Significant changes were achieved in the level of knowledge of nurses, at the end of the training program obtained 80.49% which shows an acceptable level. 80.90% of the health status of the elderly with hypertension reached a good state of health; the care of the elderly was able to confirm that 77.27% received acceptable care.
Conclusions: The care strategy for hypertensive elderly people in the community starts from the problematic situation of the high incidence of arterial hypertension.
