          Abstract

          RESUMO As mudanças nos setores da educação e da saúde no século XX influenciaram as concepções e práticas dos profissionais de saúde, em especial na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Esta pesquisa analisou o perfil de formação e qualificação dos profissionais da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) e os fatores associados com a qualidade dos serviços de APS da região noroeste de Goiânia. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, realizado por entrevista, incluindo a aplicação do Instrumento de Avaliação da Atenção Primária (PCATool). Participaram do estudo 92 profissionais (48 médicos e 44 enfermeiros) das equipes da ESF. Os dados foram analisados por meio dos testes U de Man-Whitney, Qui-Quadrado, Fischer e Regressão de Poisson. Os resultados apontaram diferenças significativas (p < 0,05) entre o perfil de formação e qualificação de médicos e enfermeiros. A avaliação dos atributos da APS resultou em alto escore geral de APS (6,7). Conclui-se que a qualidade dos serviços de atenção primária possui associação com o maior tempo de trabalho de médicos na mesma equipe e com a percepção de capacitação dos profissionais de saúde da região noroeste de Goiânia.

          ABSTRACT The changes wtinessed in health and education in the twentieth century influenced the work of health professionals, particularly those in primary health care, on a conceptual and practical level. This research investgiated the training and qualifications of professionals that work with the Family Health Strategy (FHS), and factors related to the quality of primary health care services in the northwest region of Goiânia. The research is classified as a cross-sectional study, conducted using interviews that included the application of the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATool). Ninety-two professionals from FHS teams participated in the study (48 physicians and 44 nurses). The data analysis involved methods such as the Mann-Whitney U test, chi-squared test, Fisher test and Poisson Regression. The results indicated significant differences (p<0.05) between the training profile and qualifications of doctors and nurses. Assessment of the primary health care attributes resulted in a general high score (6.7). It was concluded that the quality of the primary health care services can be correlated to doctors who work for a longer period of time in the same teams, as well as the perception of health professional training and qualifications in the northwest region of Goiânia.

              A rapid assessment methodology for the evaluation of primary care organization and performance in Brazil.

              This study presents a methodology for the rapid assessment of the organization and performance of primary care services at district level. It compares results from an earlier provider survey in Petrópolis, Brazil with those obtained directly from users of two types of primary care services (newly developed Family Health Program services or 'PSF'--Programa de Saúde da Família--and traditional services) in the same municipality. The aim is to demonstrate the validity of the methodology and its potential use in measuring and improving district-level primary care services in developing countries. The study adapted a previously developed questionnaire to measure essential dimensions of primary care. Users (n = 468) were randomly selected from each of the 40 primary care clinics in the district and administered a question survey. Responses were used to create nine measures: an overall composite 'total primary care index' and eight sub-indices each pertaining to an essential primary care dimension. Primary care services show considerable variation in user experiences. Users of the new (PSF) clinics reported higher overall assessments of the total primary care index and the sub-indices for gatekeeping, comprehensiveness, family focus and community orientation than did users of traditional services (P < 0.05). The total primary care score was internally consistent with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.8, and could be reduced to only one principal component. User assessments of primary care services were predicted by self-rated health (OR 1.72) and the site of care (OR 1.03). User and provider assessments of the total primary care index were not significantly different, disagreeing on only two sub-indices (gatekeeping and family focus, P < 0.05). The study presents a rapid and valid method of obtaining information about clinic-level variation in primary care organization and performance at district level. The total primary care index was not sensitive to demographic or socio-economic characteristics of clients, was internally consistent and appears valid given similar results obtained using two different data sources. With some adaptation the instrument could potentially be applied in other developing countries.
