- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate comprehensive health care for older people based on the perceptions of professionals working in Family Health Care Centers (Unidades de Saúde da Família - USF). Methods: A qualitative descriptive and exploratory study was carried out in the second half of 2016 with multi-professional teams working in ten USF in a municipality located in the southwest of Mato Grosso State. Data were collected using the focus group technique. For analysis and interpretation, narratives were built and submitted to thematic content analysis. Results: The study showed that comprehensive health care for older people in Primary Health Care (PHC) in the municipality analyzed is delivered in a fragmented way and strengthens the biomedical culture. Comprehensiveness, which is acknowledged as one of the doctrinal principles of the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS), is weak and undervalued by professionals working at this level of health care. Conclusion: In the context of this study, comprehensive health care for the older population was delivered in a fragmented and disjointed way. The health professionals analyzed believed that the care delivered is purely clinical and focused on curative or preventive actions.
