Abstract Objectives Chronic widespread pain (CWP) is a common problem in primary health care, with a prevalence of 10–15%. An educational program called Pain School has been developed for use in primary health care, comprising four educational group sessions and 10 weeks of physical activity. The purpose of this study was to explore patients’ experiences with participating in an educational program that aims to increase their understanding of pain, self-efficacy, tools in daily life, and physical activity. Methods Twelve women (age 25–72 years) with CWP were included in this qualitative interview study set in primary health care. Semi-structured individual interviews were held 10 weeks after the completion of the four educational group sessions. Data was analyzed through the established method of content analysis, and the results are presented as a theme with categories and subcategories. Results An overarching theme that described the participants’ experiences with the educational program was evolvement of skills and perspectives to master pain. This theme covered four categories: understanding one’s body and mind, experiencing the value of participation, applying strategies and ways of thinking, and evaluating and adding to one’s personal framework. Participation contributed to an increased understanding of one’s body and mind and to experiencing the individual and social value of participation. The participants applied new strategies and ways of thinking related to pain and physical activity. An evaluation of the relevance for the individual and the value of being in the group could reinforce or add to the participants’ personal framework. Conclusions The educational program Pain School that was used in this study appears to give knowledge and support for women with CWP in primary health care and provide them with applicable skills and perspectives to manage pain.

This study aimed to investigate factors associated with dental prosthesis procedures by oral health teams (OHTs) in the Brazilian primary health care in 2013–2014, who participated in the National Program for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Health Care (PMAQ-AB). This is an analytical cross-sectional study using a questionnaire with dichotomous questions applied in 18,114 OHTs. The dependent variable studied was making any type of prosthesis (removable or fixed). Independent variables involved issues related to human resources and health service management. Data were submitted to simple and multiple binary logistic regression with odds ratio calculation, 95% confidence intervals, and p-values. Most OHTs (57%) do not perform any dental prosthesis. The teams that are more likely to perform dental prostheses have human resources-related characteristics, such as professionals admitted through public examinations (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.14–1.36) and those involved in permanent education (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.02–1.26). Moreover, OHTs with a more organized work process and that receive more significant support from municipal management are more likely to perform dental prostheses (p < 0.05). The oral health teams which tended to provide the most dental prostheses to benefit patients were; hired as civil servants, had a municipal career plan, involved all members of the oral health team, and trained undergraduate dental students from outreach programs. Better organizational support and improved work incentives may be needed to get the majority of oral health teams to start providing dental prostheses to their patients.

OBJECTIVE: Analyze if the patient safety culture among professionals in the primary health care differs among health care teams. METHODS: Cross-sectional and quantitative study conducted in April and May 2017, in a city in Southern Brazil. A total of 144 professionals who responded to the questionnaire “Survey on Patient Safety Culture in Primary Health Care” participated in the study. Data were analyzed in the Statistical Analysis Software program and expressed in percentage of positive responses. The ethical principles established for research with human beings were applied. RESULTS: Patient safety culture is positive among 50.81% of the professionals, and the dimensions “your health service” (63.39%) and “patient safety and quality” (61.22%) obtained the highest average of positive responses. Significant differences were found between the family health and oral health teams (α = 0.05 and p < 0.05), in the dimensions “patient safety” (p = 0.0274) and “work at the health service” (p = 0.0058). CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that, although close to the average, patient safety culture among professionals in the Primary Health Care is positive and that there are differences in safety culture between family health and oral health teams in comparison with the primary health care teams.
