A atenção básica é a principal porta de entrada nos serviços de saúde, atuando na coordenação do cuidado e resolução dos problemas de saúde. A Estratégia de Saúde da Família trabalha com abordagem territorial e comunitária, com definição, adscrição da clientela, cadastramento e acompanhamento da população. Dessa forma, o planejamento e programação em saúde é fundamental para os processos de trabalho através da Análise Situacional de Saúde (ASIS). Este trabalho traz um relato de experiência da Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde Coletiva sobre o processo de construção e realização da ASIS da primeira infância em uma Unidade de Saúde da Família no município de Salvador, no ano 2019. Foi encontrada distribuição heterogênea de crianças na primeira infância de acordo com a microárea e subnotificação das condições de saúde, especialmente das deficiências. Nas oficinas com profissionais e usuários, foram elencados problemas semelhantes relacionados ao acesso e utilização dos serviços de saúde e questões sociais que afetam a primeira infância deste território. A assistência à saúde da criança na USF mostrou-se satisfatória, porém necessitando de melhorias quanto ao monitoramento das crianças. A realização da análise proporcionou maior conhecimento acerca da realidade local, com o recorte da primeira infância e pode ser utilizada como ferramenta o planejamento local em saúde e enfrentamento dos problemas priorizados, tanto para primeira infância quanto para outros ciclos de vida. ABSTRACTThe primary health care is the main gateway in health services system, operating on coordinate care and resolution of health problems.

A comprehensive primary health care approach is required to address complex health issues and reduce inequities. However, there has been limited uptake of this approach by health services nationally or internationally. Reorienting health services towards becoming more health promoting provides a mechanism to support the delivery of comprehensive primary health care. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of a health promotion-focused organisational development strategy on the capacity of a primary health care service to deliver comprehensive primary health care. A questionnaire and semistructured individual interviews were used to collect quantitative and qualitative impact evaluation data, respectively, from 13 health service staff across three time points with regard to 37 indicators of organisational capacity. There were significant increases in mean scores for 31 indicators, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to nearly perfect. A range of key enablers and barriers to support the delivery of comprehensive primary health care was identified. In conclusion, an organisational development strategy to reorient health services towards becoming more health promoting may increase the capacity to deliver comprehensive primary health care.

OBJECTIVE Assessment of prevalence of health promotion programs in primary health care units within Brazil’s health system. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study based on telephone interviews with managers of primary care units. Of a total 42,486 primary health care units listed in the Brazilian Unified Health System directory, 1,600 were randomly selected. Care units from all five Brazilian macroregions were selected proportionally to the number of units in each region. We examined whether any of the following five different types of health promotion programs was available: physical activity; smoking cessation; cessation of alcohol and illicit drug use; healthy eating; and healthy environment. Information was collected on the kinds of activities offered and the status of implementation of the Family Health Strategy at the units. RESULTS Most units (62.0%) reported having in place three health promotion programs or more and only 3.0% reported having none. Healthy environment (77.0%) and healthy eating (72.0%) programs were the most widely available; smoking and alcohol use cessation were reported in 54.0% and 42.0% of the units. Physical activity programs were offered in less than 40.0% of the units and their availability varied greatly nationwide, from 51.0% in the Southeast to as low as 21.0% in the North. The Family Health Strategy was implemented in most units (61.0%); however, they did not offer more health promotion programs than others did. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that most primary care units have in place health promotion programs. Public policies are needed to strengthen primary care services and improve training of health providers to meet the goals of the agenda for health promotion in Brazil.

Purpose: Primary health care reform presents new opportunities for registered dietitians (RDs) to contribute to health promotion and disease prevention in family practices. Since this is an emerging area of RD practice, a health promotion specialist was contracted to conduct a needs assessment and develop a plan for implementing nutrition-focused healthy lifestyle activities. Methods: The needs assessment was conducted as part of an Ontario-based demonstration project in three Family Health Networks (FHNs). Results: The needs assessment revealed a lack of agreement about what types of activities should be undertaken, a lack of information on the population's needs, a lack of coordination with other agencies in the community, and barriers of time and resources. The health promotion specialist recommended that health care team members in each FHN develop a shared understanding of their goals, and undertake the entire planning and evaluation cycle. Specific strategies were suggested to increase awareness, to provide health education, and to improve environmental support. Conclusions: A significant need exists for conceptual development, planning, testing, and evaluation of disease prevention and health promotion in family physician-based primary health care organizations. The findings may be useful to others interested in increasing the focus on health promotion and disease prevention in such practices.
