ResumoObjetivo: verificar a qualidade da atenção à saúde da criança pelas equipes da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) em Capital do Nordeste do Brasil. Método: trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado durante o ano de 2010, por meio de inquérito com os profissionais médicos e enfermeiros de 66 equipes da ESF de Maceió-AL, estratificadas por tempo de funcionamento em anos. Utilizou-se parte do instrumento de auto-avaliação denominado Avaliação para Melhoria da Qualidade da Estratégia Saúde da Família (AMQ) do Ministério da Saúde, especificamente as questões referentes às ações e atividades realizadas no campo de atenção à “saúde da criança”, dentro da dimensão “atenção à saúde”. Resultados: os padrões elementares de qualidade foram encontrados em 84,1% das ações realizadas. Os padrões considerados avançados apresentaram o menor percentual de conformidade entre todas as equipes (47,7%). Quanto ao tempo de implantação da ESF, as equipes com menos de quatro anos tenderam a relatar melhores padrões de qualidade. Conclusões: os achados sugerem que as ações de saúde da criança estão sendo realizadas em melhor conformidade nas equipes com menos tempo de implantação, e que a grande maioria das equipes ainda estão atendendo a padrões considerados menos avançados em termos de qualidade.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the strengths and limitations of the Family Health Strategy from the perspective of health care professionals and the community. METHODS: Between June-August 2009, in the city of Vespasiano, Minas Gerais State, Southeastern Brazil, a questionnaire was used to evaluate the Family Health Strategy (ESF) with 77 healthcare professionals and 293 caregivers of children under five. Health care professional training, community access to health care, communication with patients and delivery of health education and pediatric care were the main points of interest in the evaluation. Logistic regression analysis was used to obtain odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals as well as to assess the statistical significance of the variables studied. RESULTS: The majority of health care professionals reported their program training was insufficient in quantity, content and method of delivery. Caregivers and professionals identified similar weaknesses (services not accessible to the community, lack of healthcare professionals, poor training for professionals) and strengths (community health worker-patient communications, provision of educational information, and pediatric care). Recommendations for improvement included: more doctors and specialists, more and better training, and scheduling improvements. Caregiver satisfaction with the ESF was found to be related to perceived benefits such as community health agent household visits (OR 5.8, 95%CI 2.8;12.1), good professional-patient relationships (OR 4.8, 95%CI 2.5;9.3), and family-focused health (OR 4.1, 95%CI 1.6;10.2); and perceived problems such as lack of personnel (OR 0.3, 95%CI 0.2;0.6), difficulty with access (OR 0.2, 95%CI 0.1;0.4), and poor quality of care (OR 0.3, 95%CI 0.1;0.6). Overall, 62% of caregivers reported being generally satisfied with the ESF services.
