CARVALHO, S.. T. .R, F. “Knowledge and perceptions about Physiotherapy of users of the Family Health Strategy”. 2008. 207f. Dissertation (Masters in Community Health). Faculty of Medicine, Ribeirao Preto-USP. In 1994, the Ministry of Health created the Family Health Program (PSF) with the aim of reorienting the model of care in Brazil and placing a higher value on primary care. Order 648/06, which is now called the Family Health Strategy (EsSF), signals a broader conception, focused on local-regional specificities, for inter-sector work and for the enhancement of knowledge and interdisciplinary practice. In this context, several successful experiences have been registered for the incorporation of the physiotherapist in Primary Care. This enables an expansion of the remit of physiotherapy, which has historically been linked to rehabilitation, so that is can also be used for health promotion and disease prevention. However, the insufficient number of professionals in the care network, the structural and material difficulties, and lack of knowledge by the population on the role of a physiotherapist still limit their role in primary care. The aim of this survey was to investigate the knowledge of users of a Family Health Unit (USF) about physiotherapy, and their perception about their needs in relation to the role of a physiotherapist. It is a cross-sectional and descriptive quantitative study. A questionnaire prepared by the author was given to 275 users of a USF in Ribeirao Preto/SP. The predominant characteristics of the interviewees were: mean age of 43 years, female, live with their partners in the unit’s catchment area for about 6 to 10 years, work in their own home, have a low level of education, and belong to economic classes C and D. Regarding the presence of family members with physical disabilities or serious illness, there was a rate equal or higher than that estimated by the WHO. As for more specific aspects of Physiotherapy, although most have already heard about the profession and consider it very important, they would like to know more about it. However, the knowledge of the interviewees revolves around aspects of rehabilitation and/or treatment. They thought that people who most need Physiotherapy are the disabled, people with injuries and/or musculoskeletal pain; that physiotherapists mainly work in hospitals; that they do not perform educational services and that it is difficult to gain access to a physiotherapist. Thus, 98% considered it necessary to include a physiotherapist in a USF team. Hardly any of those interviewed, or their relatives, had received physiotherapy, and 29% reported a current need for these services. Considering the small number of physiotherapists in the Municipal Health Network and the benefits that people could derive from a less narrow conception of the profession, it is proposed, within the logic of valuing people's participation in Primary Care, that there is a greater disclosure of Physiotherapy’s potential areas of responsibility in Primary Care, which could take place by a co-ordination of teams in order to lend ever more assistance to the SUS.
