Resumo O objetivo desta revisão integrativa da literatura foi analisar estudos publicados entre 2006-2016, disponibilizados em português, inglês ou espanhol, sobre fatores associados à utilização dos serviços de saúde bucal pela população pediátrica entre 0 e 15 anos. Foi realizado um levantamento nas bases de dados Lilacs e Medline, utilizando a estratégia de busca: (“dental care/utilization” OR “dental health services/utilization”) AND (child OR “child, preschool”) AND NOT adult. Para análise da qualidade metodológica, utilizou-se o Critical Appraisal Skill Programme (CASP) adaptado e o Agency for Healthcare and Research and Quality (AHRQ). Destacam-se como preditores do uso: fatores da criança ou adolescente (idade, frequência de escovação, condições crônicas), do cuidador (escolaridade, percepção da saúde bucal do filho, necessidades bucais referidas), do dentista (disponibilidade à noite e nos finais de semana) e o acompanhamento da saúde bucal pela equipe de saúde da família. Estes fatores são inerentes ao planejamento de políticas ou programas em saúde bucal na população pediátrica, entretanto, variam de acordo com o contexto em que se inserem. Portanto, uma análise contextual é necessária.

Regular Doctor

In order to assess the prevalence of having a regular doctor, associated factors, and the effects on health services utilization, a cross-sectional study was performed in Rio Grande, Brazil, from January to May 2000. A total of 1,260 individuals 15 years or over were interviewed. Adjusted prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated, using a Poisson regression model. Some 37% of the sample had a regular doctor. Adjusted analysis revealed a direct and linear association with income. Female gender, age, private health insurance coverage, and chronic health problems were also associated with the outcome. Having a regular physician was associated with a 51% increase in clinical breast examination and a 62% increase in cervical cancer screening during the previous year, as well as a 98% increase in prostate cancer screening in the previous year in men 40 years or over. The study concluded that the prevalence of having a regular doctor in Brazil is low and is directly associated with socioeconomic factors. Individuals with a regular physician tend to have better access to health services. The promotion of consultation with a regular doctor among the population may improve health care quality and health services access, particularly in the poorest groups.
