Abstract
Objective: To evaluate and compare the quality of longitudinality offered in basic health units (UBS) with and without a family health strategy (FHS). Methods: Cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach carried out in the city of Rio verde. The adult version of the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATool)-Brazil questionnaire and a sociodemographic questionnaire were used. Data collection was performed in the UBS studied through SUS users aged 18 to 65 years. After the collection, the SPSS program was used to apply the Student's t test to analyze the means between the variables used. Results: The UBS with FHS obtained an average score of 6.99, and the traditional ones, 6.47, but without statistical significance between these two groups. The average among all UBS was 6.77, which satisfies the cutoff point established in the literature, which considers a mean ≥6.6 satisfactory. It was also found that 5 of the 14 longitudinality issues addressed in the PCATool were higher among UBS with ESF with p <0.05. Conclusion: The UBS with FHS presented a performance moderately superior to the traditional ones and the general assessment is consistent with that found in other similar studies.
