Abstract Background: Primary health care (PHC) system is designated to be responsible for epidemic control and prevention during the outbreak of COVID-19 in China, while COVID-19 suspected cases in PHC are required to be transferred to specialist fever clinics at higher level hospitals. This study aims to understand to impact of COVID-19 on PHC delivery and antibiotic prescribing at community level in the rural areas of central China.Methods: Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 PHC practitioners and seven patients recruited from two township health centres and nine village clinics in two rural residential areas of Anhui province. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed.Results: Practitioners’ and patients’ views and perspectives on COVID-19 impacts on PHC services and antibiotic prescribing are organised into four broad themes. PHC practitioners took on a key public health role of tracing, screening and educating in rural areas, while their original role in seeing and treating patients was reduced since government required patients to be diverted. The additional work, risk, and financial pressure that PHC practitioners faced placed considerable strain on them, particularly those working in the village clinics. PHC largely diminished that related to the difficulty of PHC workforce with limited medical training and the high number of elderly patients in rural areas, and as a result of epidemic, rural patients found it more difficult to access health care. Antibiotic prescribing practices for non-COVID-19 respiratory tract infections remained unchanged and were not seen as relevant to practitioners’ knowledge of COVID-19, although overall antibiotic treatments were reduced because fewer patients were attending rural PHC clinics. Conclusions: Our study identified the considerable impact of COVID-19 epidemic on PHC in rural China. Since COVID-19 epidemic control work has been designated as a long-term task in China, rural PHC clinics now face the challenge of how to balance their principal clinical and prevention and public health roles and, in the case of the village clinics, remain financially viable.

Abstract Objective: To reflect on the approaches to the health of the LGBTI+ population, Primary Health Care and Nursing in the care of this population. Method: The reflection is based on a brief characterization of the LGBTI+ population and their health, an analysis of the nurses' work in Primary Health Care (PHC), and a debate about particularities of the nursing care for the LGBTI+ population in the PHC. Results: The LGBTI+ population is composed of many populations defined by the diversity of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and biological sex. In Family Health teams, nurses must know the main demands of this population. The institutional reorientation of PHC imposes new challenges to the enjoyment of the right to health of the LGBTI+ population. Conclusion and implications for practice: Although the National LGBT Health Policy is seven years old, studies are still scarce, foremost in Nursing. Considering that the LGBTI+ population is also under the Nursing responsibility in the PHC, it is up to this professional category to provide integral assistance with a view to minimizing the inequalities suffered by this population.
