Knowledge of students of an undergraduate nursing course about primary health care
Resumen
Objective: To identify the knowledge of undergraduate nursing students at a public institution on Primary Health Care (PHC). Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 44 students enrolled in the last year of the undergraduate course. A validated instrument with Likert-type questions was used for data collection, which were divided into four categories that covered the E-SUS strategy, legal provisions, organization of the work process and ASP funding. Absolute and relative frequency analysis of categorical and descriptive variables was performed. Results: The results of 30 students who answered the questionnaire were evaluated. Category 1 that investigated the legal provisions related to PHC had the highest average of expected responses 56.7%, followed by category 2 that dealt with the organization of work processes in PHC 53.3%. Category 3 that addressed PHC financing and category 4 that investigated the operationalization of e-SUS presented the highest average of unexpected responses, 63.7% and 53.3%. Conclusion: The evaluation of knowledge about Primary Health Care revealed important gaps, calling attention to possible flaws in academic training. Pointing to the need for more specific studies on the teaching-learning process in nursing courses.
