This study aimed to analyze the dimension of access to diagnosis in PHC from health professionals’ perspective in a municipality in the Western Amazon. Methods: this is a descriptive survey-type study, carried out in a cross-sectional way and with a quantitative approach in Porto Velho with professionals who work in PHC in the urban area through interviews with the Primary Care Assessment Tool questionnaire, validated for Brazil and adapted for tuberculosis care. Only the access to diagnosis dimension of the version for health professionals was considered, which has twelve variables and presents categories of responses according to the Likert scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, after complying with ethical precepts. Results: a total of 266 professionals were interviewed, and the mean score was classified as regular as well as they almost always have difficulty obtaining information over the phone; sometimes they use motorized transport; have costs with public transport to travel to the health unit; and sometimes they miss a work shift or appointment for the appointment. Conclusion:it is essential to reflect on the role with PHC insertion and resolvability as well as adequate clinical conduct, considering the epidemiological data that remain challenging in the municipality. 2023 artículo científico 2238-3360 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=570475952004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570475952004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570475952004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570475952004/570475952004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570475952004/movil https://doi.org/10.17058/reci.v13i2.18114 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5704 Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção application/pdf Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.13 |
