Objectives: to analyze the knowledge and health promotion practice carried out by Family Health Strategy nurses. Methods: a descriptive study and qualitative approach. The study was conducted with 18 Family Health Strategy nurses from the city of São Carlos. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed through thematic analysis. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: the data revealed that nurses had difficulties to conceptualize health promotion, and it is common to describe the definition of disease prevention. Nurses also reported developing group activities for health promotion; however, individual actions and consultations were still predominant. Final Considerations: it is necessary to develop sustainable strategies for collective health-promoting activities, in addition to strengthening multidisciplinary work and Continuing Education actions.
Objetivo: analisar o perfil de internações por Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis (DCNT) e sua relação com a cobertura da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF). Método: estudo descritivo, exploratório e de abordagem quantitativa, realizado em São Carlos-SP, no período de 2016 a 2018. As informações foram coletadas no sistema e-SUS e nas fichas de Autorizações de Internação Hospitalar. Os dados foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal de São Carlos. Resultados: destaca-se que as taxas de internação por angina, insuficiência cardíaca, diabetes e hipertensão diminuíram, sobretudo entre 2017 e 2018, quando houve ampliação da cobertura de ESF. Conclusão: a expansão da ESF foi determinante para reduzir as internações por DCNT; contudo, faz-se necessário ampliar os serviços prestados aos usuários, e reavaliar as estratégias de cuidado, especialmente aquelas direcionadas aos idosos e indivíduos acometidos por doenças cerebrovasculares e pulmonares.
