Abstract


The orientation of the primary healthcare
services was evaluated in the perspective of longitudinality
in children’s healthcare. A transversal study with a
quantitative approach was undertaken in the units with
the Family Health Strategy and of the traditional model
in the Primary Care Units. The data were raised through
interviews held between June and July 2012, with families
of children (n=482), and were analyzed using the Primary
Care Assessment Tool. It was observed that long-duration
personal relationships between the health professionals
and the patients and family members is weakened in
both models of care. The units of the Family Health
Strategy obtained a score above the cut-off value in two
of 11 items of the attribute ‘longitudinality’. The Primary
Healthcare Units had all the items with scores below the
value. The principle of longitudinality was not shown to be
incorporated, and its practice, as a principle of the Unified
Health System, continues to be a challenge in both the
models of care.
