Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study aimed to
investigate the dynamic of the childcare consultation of
Family Health Strategy teams of an Integrated Health
Nucleus and reflections of this in the conceptions of the
health team and the family members of children registered
on the Childcare Program. Data collection took place in June
2012 – February 2013, through semistructured interviews
and non-participant observation, and were subjected to
content analysis. The subjects were 19 health professionals
and 13 family members of children. The results indicated
weaknesses in the operationalization of the consultations
and that the professionals’ incipient knowledge regarding the
issue contributes to fragmented practice based in curativism,
resulting in the maintaining of erroneous conceptions among
the system’s users. The need is indicated to raise professionals’
awareness, with a view to the construction of a new
paradigm in this context, valuing the childcare consultation
as an essential tool for the promotion of child health.
