Introduction
The study evaluates architectonic barriers in
the structures of Primary Health Care (PHC)
centers in two important regions of Brazil
(South and Northeast)
The study integrates the evaluation of the
Project of Extension and Consolidation of the Family Health Program (PROESF), carried
out by the Brazilian Ministry of Health

RATIONALE
Many Brazilians present restrictions related
to mobility and independence
About 23.1% of the population of Brazil is
composed for elderly or disabled people
![Page 11: Architectonic barriers in PHC centers Istambul 28apr2009 barriers in PHC centers... · Architectonic barriers for elderly and physically disable people: an epidemiological study of](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071012/5fca7ed5dbbe4f5aa123e7cd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
RATIONALE
The architectonic barriers are defined as obstacles related to the urban constructions and public buildings
The barriers hinder the basic right of elderly and
disabled people regarding the serious difficulties of movement and inadequacy of the public spaces, particularly the health services
Steps, stairs, lack of slopes and irregular floor, bathrooms without adaptation for persons in wheelchairs, inadequate public transportation, sidewalk without conservation are examples of architectonic barriers

METHODOLOGY
Cross-sectional study carried out in 41 Brazilian cities over
than 100,000 inhabitants, in two regions: South and Northeast, describe the architectonic barriers of PHC centers
A sample of 240 PHC centers with two strategies of care
was selected randomly from list of services in the
municipalities Family Health Program
Traditional PHC
The sample was proportional to the number of PHC cnters
in each municipalities
The professionals working in the UBS answered
standardized questionnaire about architectonic barriers in
their units.

METHODOLOGY
Strategies of PHC
•Family Health Program (FHP, or PSF in Portuguese)
• It is the new strategy for PHC, launched in Brazil in 1994 – it
addresses poor urban & rural areas through multidisciplinary teams
(family doctors, nurses and home visitor, or community health
workers), defined population & coverage area, health promotion,
preventive and curative care, caring for the people in the health
center & at home
Traditional PHCIt was started in 1980 and centered in medical doctors, with
basic specialties (clinicians, pediatricians, G-O), without defined
population & coverage area, restricted to preventive & curative
care in the health center

RESULTS
236 Teams of workers answered the questionnaire
Non-respondents was four teams
- Two in south
- Two in northeast region
- The non-respondents had been of different cities
The sample included seven states in Brazil
- Two in South Region
- Five in Northeast Region

RESULTS
• Many PHC centers use common houses rented by the local government in poor neighborhoods, that do not meet the legal requirements to health services
• The PHC teams reported that about 2/3 of the facilities were inadequate to their professional needs and that of the users
• The Brazilian Health System do not have a strategy to construct PHC centers following a standard for the requirements of the model of care and the needs of elderly and disabled people
![Page 21: Architectonic barriers in PHC centers Istambul 28apr2009 barriers in PHC centers... · Architectonic barriers for elderly and physically disable people: an epidemiological study of](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071012/5fca7ed5dbbe4f5aa123e7cd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Conclusions
The architectonic barriers are frequent in both regions, and strategies of PHC services
The PHC centers do not follow architectonic standards regarding to health services and to disabled people
The increase of elderly people in the Brazilian population, most of them with chronic illnesses, requires better PHC services, that promote safe and
friendly access to frail and disabled users.

Conclusions
• Hopefully, we have some institutional initiatives, like the Project of Extension and Consolidation of the
Family Health Program (PROESF), carried out by the Brazilian Ministry of Health
• The PROESF is financing the improvement of the infrastructure, that will make ease the access of these population groups to PHC centers, but need to increase its capability to cross the barriers of the bureaucracy
