RESUMO
Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar o SISVAN como instrumento para o planejamento, gestão e avaliação de ações de alimentação e nutrição na atenção básica do SUS. Estudo transversal composto por uma amostra aleatória estratificada dos municípios do estado de Minas Gerais. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram os responsáveis municipais pelo SISVAN, que responderam a um questionário estruturado. A análise descritiva dos dados foi realizada com a construção de tabelas simples e bivariadas. Observou-se que os responsáveis pelo SISVAN coletam (50%) e digitam (55%) dados de peso, altura e consumo alimentar, enquanto que 53%, 59% e 71% não os analisam, não recomendam e nem executam ações de nutrição, respectivamente. Sendo assim, a maior parte dos responsáveis não utiliza as informações para o planejamento, a gestão e a avaliação da alimentação e nutrição. Os achados evidenciam que o SISVAN não é utilizado em seu potencial; as informações geradas não têm sido empregadas para o planejamento, a gestão e a avaliação dos serviços de nutrição na atenção básica no SUS.
Abstract The scope of this article is to evaluate the SISVAN as a tool for planning, management and evaluation of food and nutrition actions in primary healthcare in the Unified Health System (SUS). It involved a cross-sectional study composed of a stratified random sample of the municipalities in the State of Minas Gerais. The subjects of the research were municipal officials of SISVAN who filled out a structured questionnaire. Descriptive analysis of the data was performed with the construction of simple and bivariate tables. It was observed that those responsible for SISVAN, collect (50%) and input (55%) weight, height, and food consumption data; whereas 53%, 59% and 71% do not analyze and do not recommend or perform nutrition actions, respectively. This being the case, most of those responsible do not use the information for planning, management and evaluation of food and nutrition traits. The findings show that the SISVAN is not used to its full potential; the data generated have not been used for planning, management and evaluation of nutrition services in primary healthcare in the SUS.
