| description | <p><strong>Foundation</strong>: high blood pressure constitutes a cardiovascular system disease, in addition to being considered a major modifiable risk factor by the World Health Organization; and a serious health problem to be solved throughout the world. Its prevention and educating about it is essential.<br /><strong>Objective</strong>: to describe the educational intervention results to raise the knowledge level about arterial hypertension in childbearing age women.<br /><strong>Methods</strong>: descriptive, intervention study, carried out between September 20202 and September 2023, which included 86 women of childbearing age belonging to Nuevitas’ Medical Office No. 8, Camagüey province.
