Abstract:

The Family Health Strategy should be focused on the family unit and constructed operationally within the Community sphere. The research assessed the family focus and community orientation as attributes of Primary Health Care, comparing the responses among users, professionals and managers. It is an evaluative study of a population-based quantitative approach, held from January 2010 to March 2011 in São Luís - MA. The study involved a population of 32 managers and 80 professionals with more than six months of experience in the Family Health Strategy and 883 users were selected by means of cluster sampling. Questionnaires validated in Brazil were used based on the components of the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATool). The composite index of the family focus was 2.7 for users, 4.9 for professionals and 5.3 for managers (p <0.001). After the posttest, differences were detected between users and professionals, and users and managers. The composite index of community orientation was 2.9 for users, 3.9 for professionals and 4.8 for managers (p <0.001). Managers attributed highest percentages in all indicators, then professionals and ultimately users. Both attributes were unsatisfactory rated in the perception of the users.
