Introduction One of the main problems of the public health services, in which the family oral health team is included, is access by users to dental treatment in primary care, with particular reference to caries disease. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between family risk, for prioritization of home visits and oral health conditions, with a view to providing evidence about the first indicator for organizing the demand for oral health in the Family Health Strategy (FHS). Method The application of family health is based on Form A of the primary care information database SIAB ("Sistema de Informação de Atenção Básica"), used for registering families with the FHS. Eleven dentists examined the oral health conditions of 1165 persons (608 from 12 to 19 years; and 557 from 35 to 44 years of age), classifying them into six codes from A to F. Multinomial logistic regression was used (α=0.05) to analyze the association between family risk variables and oral health situation. Result There was significant association between family risk and presence of caries disease with treatment needs (OR: 2.08, p<0.0001). Conclusion Persons who have family risk would have twice as much chance of presenting caries disease in comparison with those without risk, corroborating the relevance of this element in organizing the demand for oral health.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the strengths and limitations of the Family Health Strategy from the perspective of health care professionals and the community. METHODS: Between June-August 2009, in the city of Vespasiano, Minas Gerais State, Southeastern Brazil, a questionnaire was used to evaluate the Family Health Strategy (ESF) with 77 healthcare professionals and 293 caregivers of children under five. Health care professional training, community access to health care, communication with patients and delivery of health education and pediatric care were the main points of interest in the evaluation. Logistic regression analysis was used to obtain odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals as well as to assess the statistical significance of the variables studied. RESULTS: The majority of health care professionals reported their program training was insufficient in quantity, content and method of delivery. Caregivers and professionals identified similar weaknesses (services not accessible to the community, lack of healthcare professionals, poor training for professionals) and strengths (community health worker-patient communications, provision of educational information, and pediatric care). Recommendations for improvement included: more doctors and specialists, more and better training, and scheduling improvements. Caregiver satisfaction with the ESF was found to be related to perceived benefits such as community health agent household visits (OR 5.8, 95%CI 2.8;12.1), good professional-patient relationships (OR 4.8, 95%CI 2.5;9.3), and family-focused health (OR 4.1, 95%CI 1.6;10.2); and perceived problems such as lack of personnel (OR 0.3, 95%CI 0.2;0.6), difficulty with access (OR 0.2, 95%CI 0.1;0.4), and poor quality of care (OR 0.3, 95%CI 0.1;0.6). Overall, 62% of caregivers reported being generally satisfied with the ESF services. CONCLUSIONS: Identifying the limitations and strengths of the Family Health Strategy from the healthcare professional and caregiver perspective may serve to advance primary community healthcare in Brazil.

Abstract This study aimed to conduct an integrative review of scientific literature on the topic of Oral Health in the Family Health Strategy in the period 2004-2014. Articles published in national and international journals (n = 141) were consulted and selected from the electronic Library the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and from electronic databases PubMed, Lilacs, BBO and Cochrane. The implementation process of oral health teams in the Family Health Strategy was the most frequent thematic variable (18%) of the 15 variables identified. The Northeast was the Brazilian macro-region where the largest number of published articles originated (n = 61). The studies were predominantly quantitative, and the highest number of publications occurred in 2010 (n = 26). We concluded that there is an increasing interest in investigating the context of oral health implementation in the Family Health Strategy, with particular emphasis on theme categories related to the micro-process work and the redefinition of professional identities arising from multidisciplinary work in primary care.

ResumoObjetivo: verificar a qualidade da atenção à saúde da criança pelas equipes da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) em Capital do Nordeste do Brasil. Método: trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado durante o ano de 2010, por meio de inquérito com os profissionais médicos e enfermeiros de 66 equipes da ESF de Maceió-AL, estratificadas por tempo de funcionamento em anos. Utilizou-se parte do instrumento de auto-avaliação denominado Avaliação para Melhoria da Qualidade da Estratégia Saúde da Família (AMQ) do Ministério da Saúde, especificamente as questões referentes às ações e atividades realizadas no campo de atenção à “saúde da criança”, dentro da dimensão “atenção à saúde”. Resultados: os padrões elementares de qualidade foram encontrados em 84,1% das ações realizadas. Os padrões considerados avançados apresentaram o menor percentual de conformidade entre todas as equipes (47,7%). Quanto ao tempo de implantação da ESF, as equipes com menos de quatro anos tenderam a relatar melhores padrões de qualidade. Conclusões: os achados sugerem que as ações de saúde da criança estão sendo realizadas em melhor conformidade nas equipes com menos tempo de implantação, e que a grande maioria das equipes ainda estão atendendo a padrões considerados menos avançados em termos de qualidade.

Objective To aprehend the social representations about the solvability in mental health care with users of the Family Health Strategy and professionals of family health teams and of the Center for Psychosocial Care. Method A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews for data collection, and the Alceste software for analysis. This software uses the Hierarchical Descending Classification based on the examination of lexical roots, considering the words as units and providing context in the corpus. Results The representations emerge in two opposing poles: the users require satisfaction with care and the professionals realize the need for improvement of health actions. Although the matricial support in mental health and the home visits are developed, the barriers related to investment in health, continuing education and organization of care persist. Conclusion The different representations enable improvements in customer service, solvability of care and aggregate knowledge and practices in the expanded perspective of health needs in the family, social and therapeutic context.

Este estudo objetivou abordar a atenção à saúde, um dos elementos constituintes das necessidades em saúde, para usuários da Estratégia Saúde da Família. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, com referencial teórico no Interacionismo Simbólico e metodológico na Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados (TFD). Foram entrevistados individualmente, a partir de um roteiro semiestruturado, 17 usuários de uma Unidade Básica de Saúde de um município de Minas Gerais, no período de fevereiro de 2016 a maio de 2017. A análise dos dados ocorreu por meio do processo de codificação Aberta, Axial e Seletiva, proposto pela TFD. Evidenciou-se que a atenção à saúde constitui necessidades em saúde, sendo representada principalmente pelo acolhimento, acesso e obtenção de respostas pelos usuários nos serviços. As demandas relacionadas às questões biológicas do corpo é o que faz os usuários a buscarem o serviço, mas o que esperam é uma atenção voltada não somente para a doença, mas acolhedora e zelosa. Os profissionais de saúde precisam estar atentos às questões subjetivas, como a importância do estabelecimento de relações afetivas com usuários para promover um cuidado que atenda as necessidades em saúde da população.
