Introduction: Studies on patient safety in Primary Health Care (PHC) are up to date; however, there are no details on professionals' actual performance in relation to this matter. Thus, it is important to evaluate the safety culture characterization among nursing professionals in this scenario, since it will promote better care for users.Objective: To evaluate the patient safety culture in the Units with Family Health Strategy (FHS) program under nurses’ perspective.Method: Descriptive study of quantitative approach carried out in fourteen health Units in Curitiba City, Paraná State (PR), Brazil from July to December 2017. There were forty-three nurses participating in this study. Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture (MOSPSC) was the tool used, comprising fifty-one questions that evaluate twelve dimensions of patient safety. This tool, Portuguese version, showed a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.95, which expresses high reliability. All data were analyzed by Descriptive Statistics using Likert scale. Results: Inconsistencies were found related to the information exchange with other institutions, work process, fear of guilt, punishment for errors, and management. In the overall evaluation, 50% of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) professionals rated patient safety “very good”, and 73.9% of Basic Health Units (BHU) professionals rated patient safety “good”.Conclusion: Results show a safety culture with potentialities and weaknesses that need to be developed, considering the nurse the cornerstone to the success of quality and safety enhancement of patient in Primary Health Care. Introducción: Los estudios sobre seguridad del paciente en la Atención Primaria a la Salud son actuales, pero no profundizan el real desempeño de los profesionales con relación a la seguridad del paciente. Así, es relevante evaluar la caracterización de la cultura de seguridad entre los profesionales de enfermería en este escenario, pues va a favorecer la mejora del cuidado a los usuarios.Objetivo: Evaluar la cultura de seguridad del paciente en Unidades con Estrategia de Salud de la Familia en la perspectiva de los enfermeros.Método: Estudio descriptivo de abordaje cuantitativo, realizado de julio a diciembre de 2017, en catorce unidades de salud de la ciudad de Curitiba (PR). Participaron de esta investigación cuarenta y tres enfermeros. El instrumento utilizado fue el Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture (MOSPSC) que consiste en cincuenta y una preguntas que miden doce dimensiones de la seguridad del paciente. La confiabilidad del instrumento es de alfa de Cronbach de 0,95. Los datos fueron analizados por estadística descriptiva, por medio de una escala de Likert. Resultados: Se notaron problemas relacionados con el intercambio de información con otras instituciones, el proceso de trabajo, el miedo a la culpa, el castigo por los errores y la gestión. En la evaluación global de la Seguridad del Paciente, 50% de los profesionales de la Estrategia Salud de la Familia consideran “muy bueno” y de las Unidades Básicas de Salud, 73,9% consideran “bueno”.Conclusión: Los resultados muestran una cultura de seguridad con potencialidades y fragilidades que necesitan ser trabajadas, y el enfermero como base de este proceso para el fortalecimiento de la calidad y seguridad del paciente en la Atención Primaria a la Salud. Introdução: Os estudos sobre segurança do paciente na Atenção Primária à Saúde são atuais, mas não aprofundam o real desempenho dos profissionais em relação à segurança do paciente. Desta forma, é relevante avaliar a caracterização da cultura de segurança entre os profissionais de enfermagem neste cenário, pois favorecerá melhoria do cuidado aos usuários.Objetivo: Avaliar a cultura de segurança do paciente em Unidades com o programa Estratégia de Saúde da Família na perspectiva dos enfermeiros. Método: Estudo descritivo de abordagem quantitativa, realizado de julho a dezembro de 2017, em catorze unidades de saúde de Curitiba (PR). Participaram desta pesquisa quarenta e três enfermeiros.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the Primary Health Care attributes of Fortaleza city, Ceará State. Method: Evaluative study carried out at 97 Primary Health Care Units, from August 2015 to June 2016. 451 professionals from the Family Health Strategy participated in the study. We used the Primary Care Assessment Tool - Brazil, which evaluates the attributes, assigning scores on a scale of zero to ten. We adopted as a cut-off point, to consider high Primary Care score, attributes with a value of 6.60 or higher. Results: Among the eight attributes evaluated the First Contact Access and the Coordination - Information System were the ones that obtained the lowest and highest scores, (2.98) and (7.82), respectively. The Overall Score, calculated by means of a mean of the attributes, was 6.34. Conclusion: The Primary Care evaluated had a low score, showing the need to discuss mechanisms to boost the attributes that obtained low scores.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the rate of ambulatory care sensitive hospitalizations in groups of cities according to population size and to analyze its association with the coverage of the Family Health Strategy after the implementation of the Master Plan for Primary Health Care in Minas Gerais, Brazil. METHODS: This is an ecological study with 452 cities grouped according to population size, with data from 2004 to 2007 and 2010 to 2013. We used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to verify the distribution of the data in the groups. We used the Wilcoxon test for paired data or the paired Student’s t-test to compare the rate of ambulatory care sensitive hospitalizations before and after the Master Plan for Primary Health Care. We used the simple linear regression test to analyze the association between variables. We performed statistical analyses using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, with a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: The rate of ambulatory care sensitive hospitalizations decreased significantly after the Master Plan for Primary Health Care in the large and mid-sized groups (p < 0.05). There were positive correlations between coverage with Family Health Strategy and the rate of ambulatory care sensitive hospitalizations in the mid-sized and large groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Actions were carried out to implement the Master Plan for Primary Health Care. However, more investments are needed to improve the effectiveness of the Primary Health Care, with permanent confrontation of complex issues that affect the quality of services, which can lead to a significant reduction of the rates of ambulatory care sensitive hospitalizations.

Inequalities In Mortality

Objectives. To investigate the role of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in reducing social inequalities in mortality over a 9-year follow-up period. Methods. We carried out a population-based cohort study of individuals aged 60 years and older from the city of Bagé, Brazil. Of 1593 participants at baseline (2008), 1314 (82.5%) were included in this 9-year follow-up (2017). We assessed type of primary health care (PHC) coverage and other variables at baseline. In 2017, we ascertained 579 deaths through mortality registers. Hazard ratios and their 95% confidence intervals modeled time to death estimated by Cox regression. We also tested the effect modification between PHC and wealth. Results. The FHS had a protective effect on mortality among individuals aged 60 to 64 years, a result not found among those not covered by the FHS. Interaction analysis showed that the FHS modified the effect of wealth on mortality. The FHS protected the poorest from all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.59; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.36, 0.96) and avoidable mortality (HR = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.25, 0.85). Conclusions. FHS coverage reduced social inequalities in mortality among older adults. Our findings highlight the need to guarantee universal health coverage in Brazil by expanding and strengthening the FHS to promote health equity. (Am J Public Health.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The Family Health Strategy (FHS) should be first-contact care in the Brazilian Health System. However, Primary Health Care (PHC) still encompasses two models: the FHS and the traditional health care facilities. The expansion of the FHS has been slow and heterogeneous in many cities, rendering a comparative evaluation of key quality-related elements of PHC models crucial. Objective: To compare the performance of PHC models as perceived by health professionals. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving managers and health professionals from PHC of a medium-size city in South-eastern Brazil. Data were collected by applying the Primary Care Assessment Tool. The performance was estimated through primary health care indexes (general and partial PHCI by attributes). Univariate polytomous logistic regression was performed to compare care model performances according to their attributes. Strength of association was estimated by odds ratio with 95% confidence interval. Results: Three managers and 81 health professionals participated in the study. The FHS had a better index rating than the traditional care model for general PHCI and for the attributes longitudinality, comprehensiveness, family focus and professional level. Conclusion: Although the FHS attained higher scores compared to the traditional model, it has not yet achieved the performance expected. This scenario points to the need for increased FHS cover and quality improvements at the existing units.
