Objetivos: Este estudio tiene como objetivo comprender las relaciones entre el progreso de la cobertura de la Estrategia de Salud de Familia en los nueve estados del noreste y las tasas de detección de sífilis en mujeres embarazadas y congénitas entre 2008 y 2017.Métodos: Se trata de un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal en el que se correlacionaron las tasas de detección de sífilis de gestación y sífilis congénita en los estados nororientales y en esta región en su conjunto con la respectiva cobertura media anual de la Estrategia de Salud de Familia. Para ello, se realizó la prueba del coeficiente de correlación de Pearson para estas dos variables utilizando el software del Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 25. Resultados: El análisis estadístico de los datos de los estados permitió identificar que, al igual que en los datos agrupados de la región, a medida que aumentó la cobertura de la Estrategia de Salud de Familia, la tasa de detección de casos de sífilis en mujeres embarazadas y congénitas también aumentó significativamente en la mayoría de los estados, y en la región nordeste en su conjunto. Conclusiones: El Sistema Único de Salud a través de la Estrategia de Salud de Familia ha dado lugar a importantes avances relacionados con el seguimiento del embarazo, el puerperio y el desarrollo infantil, así como en el diagnóstico temprano de infecciones como la sífilis. Sin embargo, además del diagnóstico, se necesitan mejoras significativas en el tratamiento y la prevención de estas enfermedades en la región noreste. Objectives: This study aims to verify the relationships between the advancing of coverage of the Family Health Strategy in the nine northeastern states and the rates of detection of syphilis in pregnant women and congenital between the years 2008 and 2017. Methods: Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study, in which the detection rates for gestational syphilis and congenital in the nine states of the Northeast and this region as a whole were correlated with the respective annual averages Family Health Strategy coverage. For that, Pearson's correlation coefficient test was performed for these two variables, using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 25 software. Results: The statistical analysis of the state data made it possible to identify that, as well as in the grouped data of the region, as the Family Health Strategy coverage increased, the detection rate of syphilis cases in pregnant women and congenital also increased significantly in most states, and in the Northeast region entirely. Conclusions: The Unified Health System through the Family Health Strategy has made great advances related to the monitoring of pregnancy, puerperium and child development as in the early diagnosis of infections like syphilis. However, in addition to the diagnosis, significant improvements are needed in the treatment and prevention of these diseases in the Northeast region. Objetivos: Este estudo tem por objetivo conhecer as relações existentes entre o avanço da cobertura da Estratégia Saúde da Família nos nove estados nordestinos e as taxas de detecção da sífilis em gestantes e congênita entre os anos de 2008 e 2017.Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional, descritivo e transversal, em que as taxas de detecção para sífilis na gestação e congênita dos estados do Nordeste e desta região como um todo foram correlacionadas com as respectivas médias anuais de cobertura da Estratégia Saúde da Família. Para isso, foi realizado o teste de coeficiente de correlação de Pearson, para essas duas variáveis, através do software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 25.Resultados: A análise estatística dos dados estaduais possibilitou identificar que, assim como nos dados agrupados da região, à medida que aumentava a cobertura da ESF, a taxa de detecção dos casos de sífilis em gestantes e congênita também crescia significativamente na maioria dos estados, e na região Nordeste integralmente.Conclusões: O Sistema Único de Saúde através da Estratégia Saúde da Família tem protagonizado grandes avanços relacionados ao acompanhamento da gestação, puerpério e desenvolvimento infantil, como no diagnóstico precoce de infecções, como a sífilis. Entretanto, além do diagnóstico, é preciso melhorias significativas no tratamento e prevenção destas doenças na região Nordeste.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to analyze the profile of consumption of psychoactive substances in the past three months and their association with sociodemographic variables. A cross-sectional study was conducted with users of the Family Health Strategy in the perspective of the brief intervention, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The sample included 1,489 users of the service interviewed throughout a year. The consumption of substances was assessed through the questionnaire Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test. Statistical analysis was developed using the software SPSS. The highest prevalence rates in the past three months were found in the male subsample for use of tobacco (56.4%), alcoholic drinks (75.8%), cannabis (16.9%), and cocaine/crack (10.1%). Religion and educational level appear as an important protective factor against the use of drugs. A prevalence of consumption of psychoactive substances among the users of this area within the scope of work of nurses was evidenced.

This analytical and qualitative study aimed to identify how workers in the Family Health Strategy perceive the risks they are exposed to at work. Thematic analysis and the reference framework of the work process were used to examine the contents of interviews with 48 subjects (community health agents, nurses, nursing auxiliaries and physicians). The workers noticed the following risks: physical and moral violence, typical work accident, emotional exhaustion, lack of problem-solving ability and occupational disease. The results predominantly show the connection with the object / subject of the work and the social environmental characteristics of the related communities. The study adds to the body of knowledge and can systemize collective and individual technological processes for occupational health risk management in primary health care.

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.

The aims of the present study were to characterize the reasons for medical appointments and treatment procedures of elderly people in the Estratégia Saúde da Família ("Family Health Strategy") (ESF), with emphasis on mental health, as well as to identify the prevalence of common mental disorders, and compare this with the approaches described in medical records. A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 219 elderly persons was performed by reviewing medical records and applying a Self-Response Questionnaire (SRQ-20). For this population the average number of appointments per year was three, 42.3% of appointments were to obtain a medical prescription, and 70.9% of medical procedures involved the provision of medical prescriptions. There were eight referrals to specialized mental health services. The most prescribed psychiatric drugs were anxiolytics (55%), and antidepressants (29.7%). A total of 19.6% of the elderly persons had scores above seven in the SRQ-20. It was observed that a large proportion of mental disorders were not detected, and there was a failure in the procedures adopted. More investment in patient flow and the definition of assistance criteria for this population is required.
