Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Introduction: The World Health Organization recommends the implementation of Integrative and Complementary Health Practices in primary health care, and in Brazil, 29 modalities are available at this level of care. Objective: To evaluate the degree of implementation of Integrative and Complementary Health Practices in Primary Health Care in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: Evaluation research, type 1-b: implementation analysis. The study was divided into three stages: elaboration and validation of the logical model and the analysis and judgment matrix; and evaluation of the implementation of Integrative and Complementary Health Practices in Primary Health Care in Minas Gerais through a cross-sectional study using 2018 secondary data. Results: Of the 846 municipalities in Minas Gerais that participated in the study, most have not implemented Integrative and Complementary Health Practices (59,5%), and only two municipalities achieved adequate implementation. An association was observed between the variables: Primary Health Care coverage, Human Development Index, and population size with the degree of implementation of Integrative and Complementary Health Practices. Conclusion: The verified degree of implementation denotes the need for professional training, availability of supplies and materials, provision of Integrative and Complementary Health Practices, health education and promotion actions, service organization, and management support as a way to contribute to implementation in the municipalities.
