ABSTRACT Objective to investigate the follow-up and characteristics of children and youth with special healthcare needs within Primary Health Care services located in a city in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Method this qualitative study was supported by the Primary Health Care framework, and interviews were held with 37 health workers from the primary health care units located in the interior of São Paulo. Data were collected from May to December 2018 and treated with inductive thematic analysis. Results from the perspective of the health workers, the characteristics of these children and youth are centered on the dependence of specific care such as to promote psychomotor development, and dependence on technology and pharmacological treatments. They reported the difficulty to access health services while the primary health care services do not implement systematic follow-up. Conclusion these children and youth demand continuous and longitudinal care, which, however, is not provided by primary health care services, considering the discontinuity of care and a lack of networked follow-up. Therefore, health services need to be reorganized to keep up with changes in the child and youth morbidity and mortality to ensure continuous, integral, and networked follow-up to this population.

The Impact

Refugees can experience problems accessing and utilising Australian primary health care services, resulting in suboptimal health outcomes. Little is known about the impact of their pre-migration health care experiences. This paper demonstrates how the Afghan pre-migration experiences of primary health care can affect engagement with Australian primary care services. It considers the implications for Australian primary health care policy, planning and delivery. This paper is based on the international experiences, insights and expert opinions of the authors, and is underpinned by literature on Afghan health-seeking behaviour. Importantly, Afghanistan and Australia have different primary health care strategies. In Afghanistan, health care is predominantly provided through a community-based outreach approach, namely through community health workers residing in the local community. In contrast, the Australian health care system requires client attendance at formal health service facilities. This difference contributes to service access and utilisation problems. Community engagement is essential to bridge the gap between the Afghan community and Australian primary health care services. This can be achieved through the health sector working to strengthen partnerships between Afghan individuals, communities and health services. Enhanced community engagement has the potential to improve the delivery of primary health care to the Afghan community in Australia.

Cardiovascular Patients

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine the use of primary health care services in individuals diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases and to investigate the relationship between health status and sociodemographic characteristics and health/disease characteristics. METHODS: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 313 individuals with cardiovascular disease aged 20 years and over who were admitted to a hospital for any reason by haphazard sampling method. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 59.21 ± 13.52 years. It was seen that 46% of the individuals had hypertensive disease and 88.5% of them had continuous medication. The rate of those who prefer family health care center as the first institution for cardiovascular diseases is 13.4%, and the rate of those who prefer family health care center, as the first institution in case of any health problem is 20.1%. The individuals 89.1% came to the hospital without referral from the family health care center, 16.9% of them found family health care centers inadequate. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It is seen that cardiovascular patients who apply to the hospital benefit less from primary health care services. Strengthening the management of cardiovascular patients in primary care is the main suggestion of this study.

The study was conducted in two villages in Cebu City, namely, Bulacao and Pardo. The study includes 379 community residents and 26 volunteer health workers. A researcher-made tool composed of 45 items on the nine components of PHC was used. An interview guide was prepared to gather more information and confirm responses from the tool. Findings and Conclusion:The study revealed that the residents were aware of the PHC services. It also showed that the level of implementation of the volunteer health workers on PHC services was high. There was a significant difference in the perceptions of the residents on the level of awareness and the volunteer health workers’ level of implementation of PHC services. The top three problems encountered by the health care providers were inadequate medicines, inadequate clinic space for consultation, and availability of medical doctors. In conclusion, when the targeted beneficiaries are aware of the primary health care services, the volunteer health workers will feel more determined to perform their roles to render improved primary health care services.
