Avaliação da atenção à saúde da criança no contexto da Saúde da Família no município de Teixeiras, Minas Gerais (MG, Brasil)

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a atenção à saúde da criança pelo Programa de Saúde da Família (PSF) do município de Teixeiras, MG, Brasil. Foi aplicado um questionário a 161 mães de crianças menores de dois anos. Utilizou-se um sistema de escores específicos para análise das dimensões de estrutura, processo e resultado e seus respectivos atributos, classificando o município nos cenários incipiente, intermediário e avançado. Configurou-se, na síntese, um cenário intermediário (49,6%) para o PSF, caracterizado por uma atenção à saúde da criança fragmentada, mas com avanços na organização da atenção para este grupo. Foram consideradas incipientes as instalações físicas, a qualidade do cuidado no controle da diarréia e das infecções respiratórias, a participação comunitária e a intersetorialidade. Os avanços estiveram relacionados ao acolhimento realizado pelo programa, no entanto, as atividades preventivas e promocionais do PSF demonstram que o programa surge como um suporte do hospital e mais um local de atendimento médico. A atuação do PSF na atenção a saúde das crianças distancia-se da proposta de reorientação do modelo assistencial hegemônico, pela qual foi criado, dificultando estratégias na prevenção de doenças e na promoção da saúde.
