To identify the profile of users of a Basic Health Unit, the aspects of the technical dimension of access to speech-language pathology care, and to highlight significant factors for the time until care is provided. An observational, descriptive-analytical, longitudinal study and survival analysis based on the examination of 242 recorded services from 2012 to 2020. Among the cases, 77.7% were children up to 10 years old, 64.9% were boys, and 69.8% had complaints in the language area and were referred by a pediatrician (47.5%). Days elapsed until reception, referral source, age group, and complaint are significant for the time until service is provided. The results indicate the need to reinforce services for complaints of orofacial motor function alteration, language delay, phonological deviation, school difficulty/reading and writing, and stuttering. The presence of interns and a resident in speech-language pathology contributed to user access, enabling greater identification of demands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The National Program for the Improvement of Access and Quality of Primary Health Care was an important part of the negotiation and agreement process among the three levels of management of the Brazilian Unified Health System, aiming to evaluate theresults of Primary Care. The objective of this study was to evaluate how structure indicators behaved in Brazilian health units that participated in the second and third cycles of the program, in order to discuss the hypothesis that resources produce improvements in structure indicators. This is a cross-sectional ecological study that analyzed publicly available databases of Brazilian municipalities. The outcomes considered were the number of structure indicators for each team and the variation in the quantity of structure indicators. The Northeast region had the highest adherence of health teams. Among the structure indicators, there was a significant improvement in the construction of vaccination rooms and rooms for dispensing medication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The public health network is the gateway to follow-up actions for patients with diabetes mellitus, regarding adherence to treatment and adequate guidelines regarding complications and risks. This study aims to analyze health promotion actions in Primary Care through Pharmaceutical Assistance services, aiming to result in the rational use of medicines and adherence to treatment. The methodology is bibliographic, which used scientific articles and journal as a database. Articles published from 2016 to 2021 were selected using the following descriptors: relevance of pharmaceutical care; primary health care, monitoring of diabetes mellitus. Exclusion criteria were articles that were not available for free reading, incomplete texts, publications prior to 2016, languages other than Portuguese, publications in a simple summary and studies that did not contribute to the objective of this research. Among the 96 articles, only 08 articles corroborated this study. The results show that the pharmacist's role in primary health care is essential, as it contributes from the management, acquisition to the efficient dispensing of medicines. It is soon concluded that the monitoring carried out by the pharmacist with the team helps to reduce risks, promoting attention, care and quality health for users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Current study verifies validation evidences of an instrument for the evaluation of social support for hypertensive patients from the perspective of professionals in primary care. Methodology followed stages below: consultation with specialists, imputation of data and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The proposed instrument was adapted from the Primary Care Assessment Tool, professional version, with the validation of six items aggregated within the conceptual dimensions "Focus on the family" and "Community Orientation", confirmed by CFA, based on the adjustment of the model (CNIN/DF = 2.256; RFI = 0.924; NFI = 0.959; IFI = 0.977; TLI = 0.956; and CFI =0.977). Significant correlation (p-value=0.000) and positive correlation between the dimensions were evidenced. Adequate internal consistency and reliability in the model's adjustment allowed its reproduction and limitations. Managers and researchers are provided with a statistically validated instrument to evaluate social support for hypertensive patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work aimed to present a general approach to autistic patients as well as the characteristics and difficulties that are faced for their inclusion in the school environment. To support the research, searches were carried out in the databases, using the keywords: autism, school inclusion, basic education. There were also readings of theoretical contributions that broaden and enrich the discussion of the subject. The search was carried out through articles indexed in data platforms (academic Google) and Virtual Health Library (BVS) and SCIELO. It was found that there is still a large scale of people in society, who need to have more knowledge about the syndrome so that, in this way, they know how to deal with and can understand the autistic patient, because understanding their inclusion in the social and school environment is easier. Understanding the behavior of each autistic person also favors the best way to develop teaching strategies aimed at stimulating their learning and behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To identify the perception of nurses in primary care about care technologies. A descriptive study with a qualitative approach was carried out in Primary Care in the city of Cajazeiras, Paraíba. The participants in this research were 15 nurses. Use the Collective Subject Discourse for data analysis. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Campina Grande, under CAAE: 50895715.0.0000.5575. Through the speeches, observe the presence of a deficit in nurses about their perceptions about care technologies. It is possible to classify it into two main weaknesses, which are gaps in the nurse's training process, such as showing that they can be used only as machines and instruments, simplifying as unique care technologies in hard technology. It is sought that this research generates reflections in the scope of assistance, teaching, and research about care technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To describe the prevalence of underweight and exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in children aged zero to six months followed by Primary Care in Brazil in 2017, identifying their spatial distribution. Methods: This was an observational, descriptive and ecological study based on data analysis of the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System. The distribution of records obtained was compared to the population estimates of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). In order to evaluate the EBF, Primary Health Care teams used food ingestion from the previous day. As for underweight, we used: Length-for-age (L/A), Weight-for-age (W/A) and BMI-for-age (BMI/A), according to World Health Organization (WHO) references. Confidence Intervals were calculated 95% (95%CI) for prevalences obtained, being plotted on maps by Federation Unit. Results: Data were obtained from 88.7 and 32.2% of Brazilian municipalities regarding anthropometry and food consumption, corresponding to 167,393 and 66,136 children, respectively. Compared to population distribution, the number of records was underestimated in the North and Northeast for anthropometry/ consumption, with distinct proportions in the South for anthropometry and Southeast for consumption. The prevalences found were: EBF – 56.6% (95%CI 56.2–56.9); under L/A – 10.6% (95%CI 10.5–10.8); under W/A – 9.0% (95%CI 8.9–9.1); and under BMI/A – 5.8% (95%CI 5.7–6.0). Conclusions: The estimate of EBF in Brazil was similar to previous studies, but food consumption data still have low coverage, compromising the estimate in some locations. Regarding anthropometry, high rates of low L/A, W/A and BMI/A stood out in some states, considerably above the previous national estimate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To evaluate the efficiency and barriers linked to the management by primary care physicians (PCPs) of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Method: Qualitative study based on a questionnaire self-applied to PCP in two cities of the state of São Paulo. The data were compared in an interview conducted with a secondary care nephrologist. Results: The data were gathered from 42 PCPs, from 28 basic healthcare units. Most of the respondents were white, male, had graduated in Brazil and were aged between 26 and 64 years old. They had been in practice for 9,8 years on average, seeing < 10 patients with CKD per week. Their positive answers referred to diagnosis, health education and avoiding nephrotoxic agents. They reported having their own tools to avoid nephrotoxicity and to treat high blood pressure, but the majority (66,7%) do not follow any guideline for the management of CKD. Primary healthcare institutions do not provide educational resources for PCPs to monitor patients with CKD. The main elements obtained from secondary nephrological care indicate the following disagreements: early referral; schedule overload; loss in the counter-referral; absence of municipal protocols. Conclusion: For the management of patients with CKD, primary care professionals often use their own resources and demonstrate insecurity regarding specific aspects of the disease. Primary healthcare institutions neither offer tools nor supplies training for PCPs or establishes local protocols. Matrix-based support seems to be the most appropriate training strategy for this situation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Noncommunicable Chronic Diseases (CNCD) are long-term conditions and their evolution is slow. Currently the number of cases is on the rise and represent the leading cause of death worldwide. The treatments are usually complex and if the population does not begin to take responsibility, taking into account the healthy habits, the consequences will be greater for the health systems. For this reason, a program based on the Primary Health Care approach was prepared, submitted to expert analysis and a pretest-posttest design research was established in the municipalities located in the Toluca Valley, in the center of the country with 188 patients with CNCD.

Objective: To identify expenditures on primary and hospital care and revenues of health financing in Brazilian municipalities from 2003 to 2018 Methodology: The available data from 5,561 municipalities were systematized by population size and geographic region in Tables and Figures using Microsoft Excel and STATA Software. Results: There is evidences that the Brazilian municipalities made expenditures in the amount of 1.8 trillion of reais in the period from 2003 to 2018, with larger amounts reached by the municipalities of the Southeast and South Regions; and smaller for the Northeast and North. The main source of these funds is their own collection, which includes mandatory legal transfers from the Union and the states. Direct Union transfers to health policies in municipalities are the second largest source of these resources. These rates had a significant increase in the period between 2003 and 2014, with a significant decrease for 2015 and 2016 and a slight recovery in 2017 and 2018. The results were also observed in the municipalities of the Northeast and North with greater dependence on federal resources. Study Contributions: The paper provides clear evidence that small and large municipally managed health systems increase the average health expenditure per inhabitant from 2003 to 2018, with primary care in the smallest municipalities and hospital care in the largest municipalities. This analysis contributes to the discussion of health financing in Brazilian municipalities, a relevant part of the complex consolidated institutional arrangement for public health following the 1988 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, as well as make questions on the model of public health hospital centralization in Brazil.

Breast cancer is the main neoplasm among women worldwide, accounting for 16% of all female cancers. This study aimed to analyze the scientific production on the prevention and control of breast cancer in primary health care. This is an integrative literature review, conducted in the period from February to May 2019, through the databases LILACS, MEDLINE and BDENF. Initially, 159 articles were found according to the descriptors used. The final sample consisted of 12 articles. After the thorough reading of the articles analyzed, these were classificados by semantic similarity in 02 thematic categories: "Considerations about the anatomy and physiology of the breast", "considerations about the definition, causes, clinical manifestations and Breast cancer risk Factors "and" breast cancer prevention levels ". It is necessary that measures be implemented in order to alert and train health professionals to practice the clinical examination of the breasts, as well as to perform actions that strengthen the knowledge of the population about the recognized risk factors and the expansion of the number of referrals to the realization of mammography are effective for prevention in their primary care.

Primary care professionals are usually the first ones to detect symptomns of autism. We have developed and evaluated an educational model via a combined telehealth and face-to-face approach to handle autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and child mental health. The training comprised two modules involving distance-learning and face-to-face teaching environments. A total of 150 healthcare professionals - 75 doctors and 75 nurses - from five Brazilian cities were trained. Videos about ASD and child mental health were developed for the distance-learning module. The face-toface module was based on training regarding "Mental health communication skills for child and adolescent primary care." The professionals were evaluated before and after training utilizing a specific knowledge questionnaire and surveys on Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP). Knowledge acquisition, practice, and attitude improved significantly after training (p < 0.01). Our results indicated that the use of interactive tele-education to train professionals in primary care is feasible and effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This university extension project aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational activity group formed by dyslipidemic patients in relation to nutritional status, intake of fat and fiber and lipid profile. In this study participated 29 individuals, adults and elderly of both sexes. There were two groups: group 1 (n=14), which lasted five months and fortnightly meetings and, group 2 (n=15), three months with weekly meetings. In the first (M0) and penultimate (M1) meeting were applied simplified food frequency questionnaires; measured the height and weight and obtained the values of Body Mass Index (BMI) and; analyzed the serum lipid profile. In 8 and 4 months after the end of the activity of groups 1 and 2, respectively, the subjects underwent the same evaluation again. A total of 16 patients were excluded, totaling 13 participants, mean age 57.5 ± 10.4 years. The weight and BMI remained unchanged during the study. There was a gradual decrease in mean score fat in both groups, but this improvement was only statistically significant from the beginning (M0) to the period after the end of the activity (M2) (group 1, p=0.0303 and group 2, p=0.0008). This modification in fat intake behavior observed in M2 only reflected in the serum lipid profile of group 1 patients, who showed a significant reduction in triglycerides (p=0.0426). Thus, it is observed that educational activities such as these should be encouraged and practiced in the context of health promotion in primary care and should be part of a continuing education program.

This case study aimed to analyze the health care of families settled in the countryside of Pernambuco state, Brazil, through participant observation, individual interviews with health professionals and representative of the Landless Workers Movement (MST), focus groups with families from two settlements and field diary. Health practices were related to the popular care through the use of medicinal plants, preventive actions, such as vaccination, childcare, monitoring of hypertensive and diabetic patients, water treatment and waste destination. We identified that socioeconomic, cultural and educational factors had a negative impact on health conditions, while the training of professionals and the resolving capacity of Primary Care limited the supply of actions. Although health practices were in accordance with the National Primary Care Policy, there were gaps between making technical health and making health popular. The actions carried out by the Movement were highlighted, such as the diagnosis of health status and planning, based on popular education. The health needs presented by the families demanded of the teams specific skills and abilities for the integral health care implied with the socioeconomic, cultural and sanitary reality of the Agrarian Reform settlements.

This paper, that covers one curricular internship practice in psychology, presents all the possibilities of an activity done recently at a Health Basic Unity (UBS) of Guaíba/RS. The activity is called Mindfulness and is based on being present and aware in the present moment. The internship is done through the Prevention and Promotion in Social Institutional and Community Psychology Service (SEPCOM), bonded to the course of Pyschology Ulbra-Guaíba, at one of the Health Basic Unity (UBS) of the city. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the diversity of proposals that can be used with the Mindfulness technique, also, bringing to light some of the benefits observed in the group, through the reports of users. A narrative description of some of the variations of the activity and its modes of applicability were carried out. Analysis have shown that Mindfulness is a practice that can be conducted and practiced in different ways and in different contexts, allowing it to be contemplated by an increasing range of users in Primary Care. But, despite all its relevance, it is still not widespread in the Unified Health System (SUS). However, it is worth emphasizing the importance of expanding and diversifying the technique of mindfulness for the prevention and promotion of mental health. It is also worth mentioning the low technological and financial investment required. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
