Estratégia Saúde da Família no Município do Rio de Janeiro: Avaliação da Cobertura e Internações por Condições Cardiovasculares

Resumo

Objective: The study’s purpose has been to assess the Family Health Strategy coverage in the municipality
of Rio de Janeiro over the period from 2008 to 2013, and verify its correlation with the hospitalizations for
cardiovascular diseases that are sensitive to Primary Care. Methods: It is a Cross-Sectional Epidemiologic
Study with secondary data. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and the Spearman correlation
test. Results: In the period of 2008, the population coverage of the Family Health Strategy was 8.1%, and in
2013 it was 39.41%. There is no linear association between the hospitalizations for hypertension, angina and
cerebrovascular diseases and the Family Health Strategy coverage (p>0.05). Hospitalizations for cardiac failure
presented a negative correlation with the Family Health Strategy coverage (p 0,05). As internações por insuficiência cardíaca apresentam correlação negativa com a cobertura da ESF (p 0.05). Las
hospitalizaciones por insuficiencia cardíaca presentan correlación negativa
con la cobertura de la Estrategia Salud de la Familia (p<0.001). Conclusión:
Al final de 2013 cerca de 40% de la población de Rio de Janeiro estaba cubierta
por la Estrategia Salud de la Familia. Todavía, ese resultado representa una
expansión más pequeña que lo observado en nivel nacional y regional.
