Abstract:

This study aimed to evaluate the attributes of primary care, with a focus on child health, according to the perception of a maroon community in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is cross-sectional, descriptive study with quantitative approach. We used the Primary Care Assessment Tool, child version (PCA-Tool, child version), applied to the main caregivers of children residents and enrolled in the maroon community. The attributes of primary care were assessed using scores measured by caregivers, according to the instrument criteria. Only two attributes of primary care showed satisfactory values: Access-Use and Coordination-Information System. The lowest scores were for the attributes of Family Guidance and Access-accessibility. The overall score also showed value below the satisfactory one. The results record a low fidelity to attributes of primary care, as perceived by caregivers and highlight the need for greater efforts to fit the new model of care for the studied population.
