Abstract:In Ghana, between January 1990 and September 1993, a series of steps were undertaken to review the existing vertical reporting procedures and to develop an integrated Health Management Information System (HMIS) for Primary Health Care (PHC).These steps included a situation analysis of the existing reporting systems; participatory design of tools for planning, data collection, feedback and reporting; field test and revision of the modified system; training of staff at all levels; development of tools for self-assessment and stimulation of routine feedback to lower levels and reporting of analysed indicators to higher levels.There were some notable achievements which included promotion of self-reliance, improved data relevance and accuracy, as well as strengthened supervision and support. However, it was difficult to identify the most appropriate institutional location for the HMIS; over-emphasis on process leads to reduced implementation; reporting was still given greater priority than analysis and use of data, and systems for collection and use were still cumbersome and time consuming. It is also difficult to prove that having better information really improves decision-making, or even coverage and quality of PHC service delivery.These issues, as well as lessons learned, are discussed in the paper.

Using Data

ABSTRACT Objective: to investigate the evolution and estimate the shortage of Speech, Language and Hearing professionals in Primary Health Care between 2005 and 2015. Methods: a mixed ecological study using data from the National Registry of Health Facilities and the Primary Health Care Information System. A descriptive analysis regarding the evolution of the number of professionals working in Primary Health Care over this period, in Brazilian states and regions, was conducted. The ratio of professionals per 100,000 inhabitants for the years 2005, 2010 and 2015, and the shortages in 2015, were estimated. Results: in 2005, there were 1,717 professionals working in Primary Health Care, that is, one per 100,000 inhabitants. In 2015, there were 4,124, increasing to 2.1/100,000. In 2015, the shortage in supply was 55.1%, varying widely across the states. Conclusion: the shortage in supply is equivalent to an absence of Speech, Language and Hearing service coverage within Primary Health Care for more than half of the Brazilian population. It is worth noting that a conservative parameter was adopted to conduct this estimate. The results suggest a process of consolidation for the inclusion of Speech, Language and Hearing professionals within Primary Health Care, however, still characterized by insufficient and unequal supply across the nation.

The Impact

Objetivo: Avaliar a influência das ações de alimentação dos Sistemas de Informação utilizados na Atenção Primária a Saúde (APS) sobre os cuidados de enfermagem ao indivíduo ou comunidade. Método: Pesquisa quantitativa, com enfermeiros da Atenção Primária. Utilizaram-se os testes ANOVA one-way, Kruskal-Wallis e correlação de Spearman com significância de 5% e confiança de 95%. Resultados: A maioria dos enfermeiros era mulher (94,5%), 34,4 anos de idade, 8,8 anos de formação, sendo 7,6 anos atuando na atenção primária, especialista e concursada. Observou-se associação negativa (p-valor = 0,008) entre tempo destinado às atividades de alimentação dos sistemas e o tempo de atenção aos pacientes. Conclusão: O estudo aponta a influência das ações gerenciais voltadas aos sistemas de informação sobre a atenção prestada aos indivíduos/comunidade.

Background. Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is a common reason that parents seek help to primary health care. In 2016, almost 65% (64.4%) pneumonia and less than 36% (35.6%) non-pneumonia cases were found among the children in Malang. Members of families have important roles to play in individual’s health, especially the children. The aim of this study was to explore the roles of family members in the care and prevention of children with ARI. Method. This was a qualitative study, with a phenomenological approach involving 12 informants. An in-depth interview was conducted on each informant having children with recurrent ARI during a space of 3 months in the primary health care. Information collected from the interviews were transcribed and analyzed into different themes. Results. The 4 themes identified include ARI in children, parent roles, influences of family members, and family problems. Different styles of parenting were established between the fathers and mothers also between the mothers and grandmothers on preventing ARI. The behavior of other family members impact both on the risk and prevention of ARI. Some of the identified problems capable of affecting children’s health include inability to control the children, unstable income and the stressed condition of most mothers. Conclusion. Behavior of family members impacts on the prevention of ARI among the children. Problems within the family could affect the mothers’ or caregivers’ psychology, which might in turn impact on the care given to the children infected with ARI or in preventing it.
