Integrative Health Care

A systematic review was conducted to assess the level of evidence for integrative health care research. We searched PubMed, Allied and Complementary Medicine (AMED), BIOSIS Previews, EMBASE, the entire Cochrane Library, MANTIS, Social SciSearch, SciSearch Cited Ref Sci, PsychInfo, CINAHL, and NCCAM grantee publications listings, from database inception to May 2009, as well as searches of the “gray literature.” Available studies published in English language were included. Three independent reviewers rated each article and assessed the methodological quality of studies using the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN 50). Our search yielded 11,891 total citations but 6 clinical studies, including 4 randomized, met our inclusion criteria. There are no available systematic reviews/meta-analyses published that met our inclusion criteria. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed independently using quality checklists of the SIGN 50. Only a small number of RCTs and CCTs with a limited number of patients and lack of adequate control groups assessing integrative health care research are available. These studies provide limited evidence of effective integrative health care on some modalities. However, integrative health care regimen appears to be generally safe.

Objective: To investigate, through an integrative literature review, the quality of health care for the elderly in primary care. Material and Methods: Integrative literature review conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed, SciELO, LILACS and BDENF databases between April and May 2020, which generated 780 references. After removal of the duplicates and use of inclusion and exclusion criteria, the final sample consisted of 15 articles. Results: The quality of health care for the elderly in primary care was associated with potential and weaknesses that involved the availability and training of human resources, adoption of evaluation protocols, monitoring and follow-up, supply of inputs and structural variables linked to infrastructure and intersectoral support network. The effectiveness of actions to the elderly in primary care was related to the implementation of the Family Health Strategy, combined with the active action of the community health agent in the territory and the participation of the elderly in the decisions. Conclusion: Strengthening the health care of the elderly in primary care involves short, medium and long-term efforts related to education, human and material resources management, networking, and the formation of ties with the territory and the elderly person. Objetivo: Investigar, a través de una revisión integradora de la literatura, la calidad de la atención en salud del adulto mayor en atención primaria.Materiales y Métodos: Revisión bibliográfica integradora realizada en las bases de datos MEDLINE / PubMed, SciELO, LILACS y BDENF entre abril y mayo de 2020, que generó 780 referencias. Después de eliminar los duplicados y utilizar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, la muestra final fue de 15 artículos.Resultados: La calidad de la atención en salud del adulto mayor en atención primaria se asoció con fortalezas y debilidades que involucraron la disponibilidad y formación de recursos humanos, adopción de protocolos de evaluación, seguimiento y seguimiento, suministro de insumos y variables estructurales vinculadas a la infraestructura y red de apoyo intersectorial. La efectividad de las acciones para el adulto mayor en atención primaria estuvo relacionada con la implementación de la Estrategia Salud de la Familia, combinada con el desempeño activo del agente comunitario de salud en el territorio y la participación del adulto mayor en las decisiones.Conclusión: El fortalecimiento de la atención a la salud del anciano en la atención primaria implica esfuerzos a corto, mediano y largo plazo relacionados con la educación, la gestión de los recursos humanos y materiales, el trabajo en red y la formación de vínculos con el territorio y el anciano. Objetivo: Investigar, por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, a qualidade da atenção à saúde do idoso na atenção primária. Materiais e Métodos: Revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nas bases de dados MEDLINE/PubMed, SciELO, LILACS e BDENF entre os meses de abril e maio de 2020, as quais geraram 780 referências. Após remoção das duplicatas e emprego dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão a amostra final foi composta por 15 artigos. Resultados: A qualidade da atenção à saúde do idoso na atenção primária esteve associada a potencialidades e fragilidades que envolveram a disponibilidade e treinamento dos recursos humanos, adoção de protocolos de avaliação, acompanhamento e monitoramento, oferta de insumos e variáveis estruturais ligadas à infraestrutura e à rede de apoio intersetorial. A efetividade das ações à pessoa idosa na atenção primária esteve relacionada à implantação da Estratégia Saúde da Família, conjugada com a atuação ativa do agente comunitário de saúde no território e a participação do idoso nas decisões. Conclusão: Fortalecer a atenção à saúde do idoso na atenção primária envolve esforços a curto, médio e longo prazo relacionados à educação, gestão de recursos humanos e materiais, atuação em rede e a formação de vínculo com o território e a pessoa idosa.
