Summary
Children's healthcare within the Family Health Strategy lacks comprehensiveness in available and provided services. Restructuring services and improving professional-user relations are crucial for effective child care.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Public Health
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- The Family Health Strategy (FHS) aims to provide comprehensive primary healthcare.
- Evaluating the comprehensiveness of child healthcare within the FHS is essential for quality improvement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the presence and extent of comprehensiveness in children's healthcare services offered through the FHS.
- To identify specific areas within child healthcare that require improvement in the FHS.
Main Methods:
- A quantitative, cross-sectional study involving 344 family members of children was conducted.
- Data were collected using the PCATool Brazil - child version.
- Descriptive and exploratory statistical analyses were employed.
Main Results:
- Comprehensiveness scores were unsatisfactory in both 'available services' and 'provided services' dimensions.
- Low scores indicate that comprehensive care is not being delivered as expected in primary care units.
- Significant issues requiring alteration were identified within the evaluated services.
Conclusions:
- Child healthcare services within the FHS require restructuring to achieve cross-sectoral performance.
- Enhancing the relationship between healthcare professionals and users is vital for promoting comprehensive and effective pediatric care.

Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
