Dynamic model for assessment and family intervention - impact on families health gains

ABSTRACT

The current Primary Health Care reform is focused on effectiveness patterns, tar-geted at ensuring the best possible health gains for its users. In regard to this ap-proach the aim is to assess health gains as a result of the implementation of the Dynamic Model for Assessment and Family Intervention. For this quantitative study, the focus of attention areas described in the opera-tive dimensions of this Nursing Model. Data collection was performed based on the information produced by Primary Health Care Nurses, through the Information System in use. The family health gains indexes computed into the Microsoft Office Excel 2007 were used for data processing and analysis. In the structural dimension, the major health gains were found in the residential house (50%). In the development dimension, the interventions targeted at family planning were found effective for 85.19% of the families, with the adaptation to pregnancy showing the lowest rates in health gains (50%). As to the functional di-mension, the highest rates in health gains were found for an adequate caregiver role in 33% of the families, whilst in the family process, health gains rates were at 5.56%. The implementation of the MDAIF had a positive impact on health gains outco-mes for families, fostering the development of assessment and family intervention competencies as well as the identification of training needs in specific intervention areas
