Abstract
Objective:
to evaluate family and community guidance in adolescence, within the scope of
Primary Health Care.
Method:
an evaluative and descriptive study with a quantitative approach, developed
through the application of the Primary Care Assessment Instrument (PCATool),
with 70 professionals from the Family Health Strategy and 140 adolescents
from the widerange areas. Data collection took place in Basic Health Units
and in the adolescents’ homes in a municipality of southern Brazil, from May
to September 2019. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential
statistics using ANOVA and Tukey’s test, performed using the R Studio
software.
Results:
there was divergence in the assessment of the attributes of family and
community guidance between users and responsible professionals, showing
weaknesses in the communication process and in the formation of the care
bond in this reality, with impacts on quality of care.
Conclusion:
there was a need for continued assessment of the care practice in primary
health care, as well as for permanent education with a focus on increasing
qualification of care for adolescents.
