title: [Contributions of health education groups to the knowledge of people with hypertension].
abstract: This study investigated how the health knowledge is constructed by individuals with hypertension, accompanied by a team of family health. This is a qualitative descriptive study, conducted with nine individuals whose data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observation. The data was analyzed through thematic analysis. The construction of knowledge in health is influenced by many elements in the everyday life of the subjects. The dialogue and interaction with others are elements of greatest impact to build such knowledge. Thus, the health education group was pointed out as a relevant activity, both due to the explanations presented by the professionals, as well as the Exchange of knowledge and experiences with the other participants. It is concluded that although living the same pedagogical activities, the repercussions of the health education actions will take effect and will be noticed differently by the subjects.
