Abstract:

This is an integrative literature review that analyzed the scientific knowledge produced under the orientation in the primary care services in Brazil to primary health care with a focus on children‘s health. Searches were carried out in SciELO, LILACS and MEDLINE databases, using the keywords primary health care, family health program, child health and evaluation of health services. Studies published in Portuguese, English and Spanish between 2000 and 2013 were selected. A total of 32 studies were chosen and characterized in relation to the features of primary health, country´s region, type of study and authors´ practice area. Theme analysis of the pieces of research was accomplished resulting in two themes: care to child in the context of Brazilian primary care and primary health care features: limitations in child care. It can be understood that the Brazilian primary health care services are heterogeneous regarding the presence and scope of essential characteristics in the child´s health care. Therefore, they lack structural and process changes in the services in order to substantially plan the care actions devoted to the child in basic attention.
