Abstract
Objective: to assess the knowledge of resistant hypertensive patients before and after an educational intervention about the risk of chronic kidney disease. Method: A cross-sectional study, with ethical approval, conducted from January 2022 to October 2024, with 63 resistant hypertensive patients under outpatient care at a university in Rio de Janeiro. Data were collected in three stages: from medical records; through telemonitoring using the Screening for Occult Renal Disease questionnaire; and during face-to-face educational intervention. Descriptive statistics, Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney test, and Wilcoxon test were used for analysis. Results: age ≥ 70 years (41.3%), 49 (77.8%) predominantly female, time since diagnosis of hypertension ≥ 21 years (41.1%); 61 (96.8%) at risk for kidney disease. Regarding knowledge of complications, before the intervention, 41 (65%) reported being unaware of the risk. After the intervention, all study participants reported having such knowledge. Conclusion: it can be identified that knowledge was acquired after the educational intervention regarding the risk of developing chronic kidney disease.
