2020 
Among chronic non-transmissible diseases, systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) and diabetes mellitus (DM)  are the most frequent and constitute a global health problem. In view of the need to implement self-care  programs about these diseases, the objective of this study is to validate a self-care program for diabetic and  hypertensive patients. It is a prospective cohort study of a population of 100 individuals who were in the  waiting room. The data collection was done through questionnaires about different topics, that were applied in  the meetings, to evaluate the knowledge of patients in the pretest and posttest. Only a few specifi questions of  each theme did not present a signifiant difference between the pretest and posttest. However, all the themes  addressed presented posttest knowledge increment. Therefore, this self-care program can be validated for  diabetic and hypertensive patients, because it promotes an increase of knowledge for these patients.
