Resumen
La educación para la salud tiene gran importancia para el fomento del autocuidado de los grupos prioritarios, por ello, se planteó como objetivo, describir la educación para la salud para familiares de adultos mayores hipertensos. Se aplicó metodología cuantitativa, descriptiva, de campo, con utilización de encuesta formulada a 250 personas. Los resultados evidenciaron que entre 38%-48% de familiares adoptaron medidas de cuidado del adulto mayor, pero la mayoría no controló las comidas, bebidas, ni actividad física, ni el régimen terapéutico de su ser querido que sufre hipertensión, solo 38% supo cómo tomar la presión arterial cuando reconoció los signos de alarma experimentados por las personas mayores de 65 años, mientras que la cuarta parte (25%) recibió consejerías, charlas o material informativo, por canales verbales e impresos, que le sirvió para atender a su ser querido que padece hipertensión, en materia de alimentación, actividad física y manejo terapéutico. En conclusión, hubo serias limitaciones en la educación para la salud dirigida a familiares de adultos mayores hipertensos.
