- Abstract
The child health care is among the essential actions of the Ministry of Health to promove the birth, growth, development and healthy food. The primary focus in caring for prevalent diseases and monitoring of risk factors also must exist. In this context, describe the actions of the Physical Therapy in Primary Health Care in the context of child health from a holistic approach. It was initially conducted a survey of children with respiratory problems who participated in the groups with physical therapy interventions in the unit and, after, made home visits. Professionals and trainees in physical therapy, nursing, and community agents have participated in the research. We worked on issues such as food, education, personal and home care, and about prevention and care of respiratory ad gastrointestinal problems. It was necessary to carry about two visits for month to give guidance to families, likewise visits in the school and daycare. Most households had triggering agents for respiratory problems. It is important to carry out disciplinary actions with a holistic approach relating to promotion of child health, among them those that integrate education and health services. Other studies should be conducted on the health promotion and disease prevention.
