A Family Health Team (FHT) is a multi-disciplinary primary healthcare model that may be an ideal setting to engage patients in physical activity. An environmental scan was conducted to determine the prevalence and characteristics of physical activity services offered by FHTs in Ontario. Of the 186 FHTs, 102 (55%) completed the survey. Almost 60% of responding FHTs offered a physical activity service; however, the availability, duration, size, and target population of the services varied depending on the individual FHT.

This is a qualitative, exploratory-descriptive study that aimed at analyzing the perceptions of a family health team regarding participation and social control in health. The study was developed with workers of a Family Health Team in southern Santa Catarina. Data were collected using the Sensitive Creative Method and analyzed through the process of thematic content analysis. Regarding participation in health, two empirical categories were identified: passive participant in health; and dialogical process as participation in the Family Health Team. As for social control in health, the categories identified were: institutionalized space as a social control in health; and disease monitoring as social control in health. The results showed perceptions related to the reflections on the health model and others that indicate the possibility of advancements in the discussions with local contribution for participation and social control in health.

Violence Prevention Program

The purpose of the study was to learn about the perception of Family Health Team professionals from the Violence Prevention Program regarding primary interventions to prevent domestic violence. The study was linked to the research "Primary and secondary intervention in domestic violence from the perspective of primary healthcare professionals". The approach of this research was qualitative and exploratory. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews. The participants were four nurses and four physicians. Three categories emerged in the analysis of the theme: knowledge of primary interventions to prevent violence; execution of primary intervention actions to prevent violence - ease and difficulties; and acknowledgement of the importance of primary interventions and the care provided. The professionals were previously aware of the main primary interventions, and some were already taking place in the multidisciplinary work.

Main Effects

The purpose of this pilot study was to determine if using physical activity (PA) mentors has any additional impact on daily steps of older adults participating in the Maine in Motion (MIM) program in the primary care setting. Participants were randomly assigned to a MIM-only group (n= 14) or a MIM+ mentor group (n= 14). The MIM intervention lasted 6 months with follow-up at 12 months. Average age of participants was 64 ± 8.8 years and most participants had multiple chronic illnesses. At baseline, mean body mass index (BMI) was 32.2 ± 5.1 and average daily steps were 4,236 ± 2,266. Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed significant main effects for steps,F(2.324, 59.104) = 4.168,p= .015, but no main effects for group,F(1, 25) = 2.988,p= .096, or time-by-group interaction,F(2.324, 59.104) = 0.905,p= .151. All participants significantly increased daily steps over the course of the intervention, with MIM+ participants maintaining increases at follow-up. No significant findings were found for BMI.
