ABSTRACT Objective: to explore the communication of family health team professionals in providing healthcare for deaf people. Methods: this cross-sectional study was comprised of 39 Family Health teams located in urban and rural areas. A census was conducted and some questionnaires were applied to the Family Health Professionals (31 doctors, 30 nurses, 27 dental surgeons and 4 pharmacists) from the Family Health Support Centers. Results: the great majority of the personnel (60.8%) reported being aware of the existence of Brazilian Sign Language, but none of the interviewees had used it to communicate. Most of the Family Health Team personnel (68.5%) had provided care to a deaf person at some time. However, none of them had taken a complementary course or received any specialized training. Conclusion: the relational dimension is fundamental in developing individual therapy plans. From this perspective, the communication barriers that deaf people face can compromise the necessary bonding for healthcare, which may adversely affect early diagnosis, timely treatment, and adherence to required treatment.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the prevalence and factors associated with falls in the elderly population living in rural areas. Method: this is a cross-sectional study, carried out in 2014, with 820 older adults recorded in the Family Health Strategy (Estratégia Saúde da Família). The association between the reporting of falls in 12 months and their associated factors was verified by the Chi-square and Fischer’s exact tests and by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: the majority of the sample was female (56.1%), white (90.2%) and aged 60-69 years (54.9%). The prevalence of falls was 27.9%, and being female, hypertensive and diabetic was associated to falls. Conclusion: it is the responsibility of health professionals to have a closer look at the elderly who have these chronic diseases, especially within the scope of the Family Health Strategy, which works longitudinally with these patients, in addition to improving nursing care aimed at this population.

Structured Questionnaire

This study had as objective to evaluate the care regarding syphilis provided by the professionals of the family health teams during prenatal consultations. For this purpose, a structured questionnaire was applied to physicians and nurses working in the health units located in the urban and rural areas of the municipality of  Nossa Senhora do Socorro, in Sergipe, and the results presented using simple descriptive statistics. It was found that 76.2% of the interviewees use the Pregnant Women's Manual during prenatal consultations, adequately recognizing each stage of the disease and the drug therapy to be instituted, but treatment is not started immediately due to a lack of medication in the unity. The interviewees (81%) carried out an active search of pregnant women who were absent from prenatal consultations, but 52.4% presented a strategy to attract their partners. It is concluded that the health professionals against syphilis have the knowledge, but they can not act in an effective way, making it necessary to discuss the knowledge and performance of these professionals, guaranteeing access to training. The need for improvements by health management is also emphasized in order to make the municipality's approach to syphilis more specific and qualified, increasing the chances of eradicating the disease.

The objective was to investigate the Community Health Agents (CHA) knowledge  in breastfeeding. An analytical cross-sectional study with ACS of both genders that work in the Family Health Strategy. The data were obtained through a questionnaire, including open and closed questions regarding their socioeconomic, professional and breastfeeding knowledge. A total of 116 ACS patients with an average age of 44.2 ± 8.8 years and 14.7 ± 5.2 years of service time participated. Of these, 69.6% reported having performed some training, and only 24.8% and 6.2% obtained a satisfactory knowledge classification, related to important aspects about the technique and management of intercurrences in breastfeeding, respectively. Regarding the answers of the closed questions, which were about general knowledge about breastfeeding, the average number of correct answers was 15.2 ± 3.2 questions, which was significantly higher (p = 0.019) among professionals working in the urban area in Rural areas. In view of the results, there is a need for greater investments in the training of the ACS in breastfeeding, so that they can acquire the necessary knowledge to effectively work with pregnant women and nursing mothers, especially with regard to adequate breastfeeding techniques and treatment of breast complications.

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.

Objective: To classify families of elderly with depressive symptoms regarding their functioning and to ascertain the presence of an association between these symptoms, family functioning and the characteristics of the elderly. Method: This was an observational, analytical, cross-sectional study performed with 33 teams of the Family Health Strategy in Dourados, MS. The sample consisted of 374 elderly divided into two groups (with and without depressive symptoms). The instruments for data collection were a sociodemographic instrument, the GeriatricDepression Scale (15 items) and the Family Apgar. Results: An association was observed between depressive symptoms and family dysfunction, female gender, four or more people living together, and physical inactivity. Conclusion: The functional family may represent effective support for the elderly with depressive symptoms, because it offers a comfortable environment that ensures the well-being of its members. The dysfunctional family can barely provide necessary care for the elderly, which can exacerbate depressive symptoms.

ABSTRACT Objective: This article aims to identify the relational technologies used by Family Health Strategy nurses in their daily work when treating patients. Method: Descriptive and cross-sectional study with qualitative approach; conducted between May and July 2015, in three Basic Health Units of the Southern Region of the Municipality of São Paulo, with 19 nurses of the Family Health Strategy. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview, and the speeches were fully transcribed and analyzed according to the technique of content analysis. Results: From the speeches of the participants, three categories emerged, showing the unawareness of the concept, but the valorization of its use; which are the relational technologies used by the participating nurses (communication, listening, empathy and welcoming reception), as well as the report of barriers to the use of relational technologies. Final consideration: Although the nurses value the use of relational technologies, the participants denoted unawareness of the nomenclature and its associated concepts, suggesting superficiality in the understanding and use of these instruments in the context of care in the Family Health Strategy.
