Abstract Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with the medication consumption among users registered in the Family Health Strategy (FHS) of Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. Method: The population was constituted of all adult residents in the area covered by the FHS. The Poisson regression model with robust variance was used to the statistical analysis. Results: There were included 553 participants, of which 72% were women. The mean age was 48 years. The prevalence of medication consumption was about 74.9% (n = 414). The most consumed class medication was drugs that act on the cardiovascular system (42.2%). The factors associated with medication consumption were female gender (PR = 1.21; CI95%: 1.07 - 1.38), diagnosed morbidity (PR = 1.83; CI95%: 1.61 - 2.08) and be bedridden in the last month (PR = 1.14; 95% CI95%: 1.02 - 1.26). Moreover, 72.7% of the interviewees obtained the medicines in public pharmacies. Conclusion and implications for practice: Women, people diagnosed with morbidities and those participants who were bedridden during the last month showed the highest levels of drug consumption. Nursing professionals in promoting the rational use of medications can contribute to integral care to FHS users.

Estudo com objetivo de identificar os fatores associados à Ansiedade do Enfermeiro da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF). Pesquisa de abordagem quali-quantitativa, descritiva, exploratória e de campo. O estudo foi desenvolvido com 07 enfermeiros que trabalham em uma Estratégia Saúde da Família de Santa Catarina. Aplicou-se a Escala de Avaliação de Ansiedade de Hamilton e questionário semi-estruturado sobre os fatores relacionados à ansiedade dos Enfermeiros. A análise e interpretação dos dados qualitativos foram organizadas a partir da análise de conteúdo com a categorização dos dados, através da ordenação, classificação e análise final dos dados pesquisados. Na fase de análise de dados quantitativos, as informações foram quantificadas através do Microsoft Office Excel e apresentados por meio de análise quantitativa. Os resultados da pesquisa realizada identificaram que 85,72% dos enfermeiros apresentaram nível de ansiedade leve e 14,28% nível moderado. Os fatores associados à ocorrência de ansiedade nos enfermeiros da ESF vincularam-se principalmente ao excesso de trabalho, seguido da falta de valorização profissional; pressão exercida no processo de trabalho; preocupação e agitação no cotidiano do trabalho. Sendo assim, sugere-se um aprofundamento da pesquisa em relação aos fatores determinantes da ansiedade e as formas de melhor combatê-la no cotidiano do exercício da profissão.Palavras-chave: Ansiedade.

Resumo Objetivo : analisar a prevalência e fatores associados à fragilidade em idosos usuários da Estratégia Saúde da Família. Método : estudo epidemiológico de corte transversal com 377 idosos. A variável dependente, a fragilidade, foi investigada através do Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI). As variáveis independentes foram as sociodemográficas e as condições de saúde (avaliadas através dos instrumentos validados: Escala de Katz, Escala de Lawton, Escala de Depressão Geriátrica - GDS-15, Miniavaliação Nutricional - MAN, CIRS-G e polifarmácia). Foi realizada análise descritiva das variáveis categóricas e numéricas. Na análise bivariada calculou-se as razões de prevalência através do teste qui-quadrado de Mantel Haenszel e, na análise múltipla, utilizou-se a regressão de Poisson. Resultados : a prevalência estimada de fragilidade para a amostra foi de 65,25%. Na análise múltipla as variáveis estado civil (divorciado ou separado, viúvo ou solteiro), presença de sintomas depressivos, dependência em atividades instrumentais de vida diária, estado nutricional (desnutrição/risco de desnutrição) e presença de comorbidades se mantiveram associadas, com significância estatística, à fragilidade. Conclusão : o presente estudo apontou elevada prevalência de fragilidade, ressaltando a importância no conhecimento dessa temática a fim de estimular ações preventivas para minimizar desfechos adversos na população idosa, como hospitalização, quedas, fraturas e morte.

OBJECTIVES: this study aimed to investigate and understand the use of medications by elderly men, their representations and the subsequent practices. METHODS: this is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study, in which there participated 17 elderly men, with polypharmacy, and assisted under the Family Health Strategy in the Municipality of Dourados in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). RESULTS: the results show that most of the medications are used for treating cardiovascular disorders. The elderly men develop strategies considering the prescription of these, adapting in line with their own perceptions and meanings. From these tactics emerge representations on youth and old age, in which old age is associated with illness. In addition, practices were observed which sought to associate the use of medications with medicinal plants, re-signifying the process of being ill. Different perspectives of masculinity permeate the use of medications, sometimes reinforcing hegemonic conceptions, and sometimes revealing alternate models of masculinity. The woman is present in the care with the use of the medications. CONCLUSIONS: in this context, the health team, above all that of nursing, must assist the elderly man in his practices of medication, taking into account his representations, his protagonism, and the role of the woman as a support in the care.

Abstract Objective: To analyze factors associated with the incomplete timely vaccination schedule up to 12 months of age, in children born in 2015, in the municipality of Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso. Methods: Population survey, August/2017 to February/2018, which used the method proposed by the World Health Organization to collect information about routine vaccination. For analysis of the associated factors, the recommendations of the National Immunization Program of the Ministry of Health were considered. Univariate analysis was performed, and the factors associated with p<0.20 entered in the multiple analysis, with hierarchical entry of individual variables and contextual indicator of concentration of the income extremes. Results: The incomplete timely vaccination schedule up to 12 months was 82.03% (95%CI 78.41–86.63). In the final model, the following remained independently associated: having one or more siblings at home (OR 3.18; 95%CI 1.75–5.76) and not receiving a visit from a community health worker in the last 30 days (OR 1.93; 95%CI 1.04–3.57). Conclusions: It is necessary to implement an active search for children with vaccination delay in relation to the recommended interval for each vaccine, in addition to the need to strengthen the link of the family health strategy and child caregivers.

This research aimed to correlate the indicators of Primary Health Care in their structural components with those of the process and with the results in the municipalities of Mato Grosso, Brazil, from 2008 to 2015. This is an evaluative, quantitative, retrospective research with the use of secondary data from information systems. A matrix is composed of components of the structure (potential population coverage) the process (medical consultation, home visit of doctor and nurse, referral to the specialist, and request of clinical pathology exams), and the result (hospitalization rate due to sensitive causes). It was constructed when primary care, the proportion of live births of mothers with seven or more prenatal consultations, and the infant mortality coefficient) and the descriptive analysis and Spearman correlation coefficient (rho) were performed. The study found that population coverage remained high above 83% and the process indicators suggest an improvement in family health strategy, with a reduction of 63.13% in the average referral to a specialist and 49.71% in the request for clinical pathology exams. However, there was a 7.13% reduction in the average home visit during the study period. There is a correlation between the structure and process component and between structure and result. It has been found that with the evolution of the Family Health Strategy, there were changes in some indicators of primary care, but it is not possible to state that there was a change in the care model.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Identifying factors associated with glycemic control in people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) registered in the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in Pernambuco, Brazil. METHOD Associations between glycemic control (glycosylated hemoglobin A lower or equal to 7%) presented by people with DM and variables related to sociodemographic conditions, lifestyle, characteristics of diabetes, treatment and follow-up of patients by health services were investigated by multiple regression. RESULTS More than 65% of the participants presented inadequate glycemic control, especially those with lower age, longer illness duration, more annual contacts with FHS and complex therapeutic regimen. People with DM without referrals to specialists presented greater glycemic control. Associations with education level and obesity did not remain significant in the multivariate model. CONCLUSION The evolution of diabetes hinders adequate control, however, attention to younger people with DM and referrals to specialists are factors that can improve glycemic control.

ABSTRACT Objective: To report the experience of the construction of nursing dimensioning and its implications for the working process in a Family Health Unit (FHU). Method: Descriptive report, which used the recommendations of Resolution No. 543/2017 of the Federal Nursing Council to dimension the number of nursing professionals from a FHU with two teams in the interior of São Paulo. Results: The dimensioning evidenced the lack of the nurse and nursing assistant and brought implications for the work process, such as systematization of information about nursing staff absences, adequacy and monitoring of the information system and reorganization of the area of service coverage. Conclusion and implications for practice: It is important that nurses use management tools, such as dimensioning, to seek changes in the nursing and staff work and in the improvement of care offered. Staff dimensioning proved to be satisfactory for the adaptations in the work process.
