Resumo:
O objetivo foi avaliar a qualidade do cuidado na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) ofertado à pessoa idosa segundo a sua perspectiva. O desenho foi observacional transversal em amostra aleatória estratificada de idosos (>60 anos) cadastrados em 10 das 20 Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) do município de Macaíba/RN-Brasil. Após entrevista com o instrumento PCATool-Brasil versão Adulto, estimou-se o nível de qualidade (0 a 10, baseado em atributos desejáveis) e analisou-se a associação de fatores sócio-demográficos. Os participantes (n=100) atribuíram à qualidade nota regular (5,7). A Longitudinalidade do cuidado foi um ponto forte (7,3), mas a Integralidade (4,7), a Orientação Familiar (4,1) e a Acessibilidade (3,8) são fragilidades na perspectiva do idoso. Fatores sócio-demográficos ligados à vulnerabilidade (menor renda, área rural e maior idade) associaram-se positivamente a diferentes atributos da APS. Evidenciou-se margem para melhoria do cuidado ao idoso, sendo prioritário ampliar o foco na família, o horário de funcionamento das UBS e a diversidade na prevenção de doenças e agravos.

Abstract:
The aim was to assess the quality of Primary Health Care (PHC) provided to the elderly from their own perspective. The study design was cross-sectional observational, in a stratified random sample of elderly individuals, enrolled in 10 of the 20 Basic Health Units (BHUs) in the city of Macaiba, Brazil. After an interview conducted using the PCA Tool Brazil instrument, adult version, the quality level was estimated (0-10, based on desirable attributes) and the association between demographic and socioeconomic factors analyzed. The participants (n=100) assigned a score of fair (5.7) to Quality; Longitudinality was awarded a high score (7.3), but Integrality (4.7), Family Orientation (4.1) and Accessibility (3.8) were considered weak. Socio-demographic factors linked to vulnerability (low income, rural area and older age) were positively associated to different PHC attributes. A margin for improvement in PHC attributes was observed, especially in regard to increasing the focus on the family, extending working hours in BHUs and enhancing prevention of diseases and their complications.
