Abstract

Objective: Analyze the impact of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) on primary health care indicators in Brazil. Methods: An integrative review was carried out with the central question: What is the impact of the Family Health Strategy on the Primary Care indicators of Brazilians? Descriptors were defined using the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) platforms, which were used to search for studies, ending the sample of this review with a total of 07 articles. Results: The results were analyzed and discussed, with approaches on the impact of the FHS on health indicators in primary care, hospitalizations due to conditions sensitive to primary care, and results achieved with the Family Health Strategy predominating. Other themes also stood out, such as infant mortality, tuberculosis control in the FHS and infectious and parasitic diseases. Final considerations: It was noticed that there was a significant improvement in the health indicators presented, with the establishment of the FHS in primary care in Brazil, resulting in different advantages for the quality of life of the investigated population, as well as for the public health service in Brazil.
