Abstract:

In the process of construction of the SUS that intends to ensure the integrality of actions, settling the unscheduled demand assistance in the basic health services (BHS) constitutes a not overcomed challenge. Objective: to analyze the health professionals conception on the role of BHS in assistance to this demand. Method: a transversal study that considered qualitative data obtained through questionnaires and interviews. There were included 106 medical practioners from 6 emergency medical services (EMS) and 190 professionals from 30 BHS. They gave their opinion about the reasons people seek emergency medical care for ocurrences defined as pertainig to the BHS. The technique of analysis of content was used for the testimonials analysis, according to thematic categories. Results: insufficient resources and basic health services work process (50.8%) were the reasons most frequently cited by medical practioners from EMS to justify this inadequate demand. Only 33.3% of the professionals from BHS agreed that these occurrences should be assisted in the basic health services. Conclusions: the limited conception of the role of basic health services on the unscheduled demand assistance, particularly among professionals from BHS, might lead to restrictive practices on the population access.
