Abstract Background: Considering advancements in information technology for disseminating results of evaluations, it is essential to demonstrate the functionalities and performance of these practices in order to achieve the objectives established by the evaluation proponents. This study aimed to evaluate the use of information technology for disseminating results obtained from the Primary Health Care evaluation in Brazil. Methods: A qualitative single-case study was performed with triangulation of techniques and key informants. Analyses of public documents and field research were conducted. Convenience sample of 54 participants (seven from the Department of Primary Care/Ministry of Health and 47 from teaching and research institutions) was selected from the external evaluation team. Content analysis was performed, and the Atlas ti.8.4.24 software organized, managed, and categorized textual data. Codification was performed by peers (three researchers) while experts validated codes (two researchers). Right after, codes were extracted and categorized.Results: Dissemination of results is complex due to multiple components. Incorporation also favored advances in data observation and implementation of data openness, becoming available for professionals, policymakers, and universities. Challenges regarding delivery time of reports, access restriction, lack of interest, and digital skills influenced reaching expected goals of the proponent.Conclusion: Information technology for disseminating results of evaluations may improve performance of health teams and managers and redefine priorities of work processes to strengthen Primary Health Care. Emphasis in planning, technological infrastructure, digital inclusion, and policy decision making is recommended to disseminate data effectively to the population.

Objetivo: Realizar una revisión narrativa sobre artículos que presentan instrumentos utilizados para la evaluación de la atención primaria de salud a nivel mundial.<br />Materiales y métodos: La búsqueda se realizó en Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane y Lilacs de artículos publicados entre 2008 y 2013. Los descriptores utilizados fueron: primary health care, health care evaluation mechanisms, questionnaires and validation study. Como criterios de elegibilidad de los artículos se incluyeron tres idiomas y estudios de validación. Se construyó una matriz de análisis por base de datos con las características de cada artículo, luego se consolidó una matriz final con los artículos que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión y se analizaron los instrumentos encontrados. El análisis de la información se llevó a cabo por las dos autoras de forma independiente, para una mayor objetividad.<br />Resultados: Se obtuvieron 128 artículos que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión establecidos en el estudio. El porcentaje de instrumentos identificados por categorías de análisis fueron: Estilos de vida y enfermedades crónicas 20,3%, Estrategia de APS – Administración 5,4%, Estrategia de APS - Relación Equipo de salud Usuario 23,4%, Salud Mental 28,9% y otras áreas temáticas 21,9%.<br />Conclusiones: Existe una amplia y variada disponibilidad de instrumentos genéricos y específicos que han sido validados en el contexto mundial para evaluar la estrategia de atención primaria de salud, sobre los cuales es posible reconstruir la mejor evidencia como herramienta de trabajo.

AbstractBackgroundResearch has not yet fully investigated links to consultation duration, patient expectations, satisfaction, and enablement in nurse practitioner consultations. This study was developed to address some of these research gaps in nurse practitioner consultations, particularly with a focus on expectations, satisfaction, and enablement.AimTo explore the influence of pre-consultation expectations, and consultation time length durations on patient satisfaction and enablement in nurse practitioner consultations in primary health care.DesignSurvey component of a larger convergent parallel mixed methods case study designed to conjointly investigate the communication processes, social interactions, and measured outcomes of nurse practitioner consultations. The survey element of the case study focusses on investigating patients’ pre-consultation expectations and post-consultation patient satisfaction and enablement.MethodsA questionnaire measuring pre-consultation expectations, and post-consultation satisfaction and enablement, completed by a convenience sample of 71 adults consulting with nurse practitioners at a general practice clinic. Initial fieldwork took place in September 2011 to November 2012, with subsequent follow-up fieldwork in October 2016.ResultsRespondents were highly satisfied with their consultations and expressed significantly higher levels of enablement than have been seen in previous studies of enablement with other types of clinicians (P=0.003). A significant, small to moderate, positive correlation of 0.427 (P=0.005) between general satisfaction and enablement was noted. No significant correlation was seen between consultation time lengths and satisfaction or enablement.ConclusionHigher levels of patient enablement and satisfaction are not necessarily determined by the time lengths of consultations, and how consultations are conducted may be more important than their time lengths for optimising patient satisfaction and enablement.
