Pesquisa descritiva exploratória com enfoque quantitativo, realizada entre os meses de novembro de 2014 e março de 2015, envolvendo 25 Unidades Básicas de Saúde com Estratégia Saúde da Família, 35 profissionais que assistem ao pré-natal e 305 usuárias da atenção básica de um município do Rio Grande do Norte, para caracterizar a infraestrutura e o processo de trabalho nos serviços de atenção ao pré-natal de baixo risco. Evidenciou-se que, no geral, a infraestrutura foi considerada adequada. Na variável processo de trabalho, foram detectadas 24 (68,6%) unidades com abordagem multiprofissional, com realização de todos os procedimentos clínico-obstétricos (100%). No cotidiano assistencial, 186 (61%) gestantes relataram que há atividades de educação em saúde, e, para 22 (62,9%) profissionais, a visita puerperal foi considerada adequada. Estudos como estes podem ser elaborados e ações implementadas, no intuito de propiciar o melhoramento da assistência realizada durante o pré-natal.
Objective: To describe the sociodemographic characteristics of women related to resistance to breast cancer. Methods: Cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, whose research took place in the Basic Family Health Units of the municipality of Mossoró. The study included 362 women aged between 40 and 69 years. One used a validated questionnaire with questions divided into five blocks. The data were entered in a spreadsheet, transferred to the SPSS software, and subsequently coded to perform the analysis. The Research Ethics Committee of the State University of Rio Grande do Norte, in Opinion No. 356958, approved the project. Results: Black women were two times more likely to be resistant when compared to white women (OR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.12-3.69; p = 0.018). Women who have studied up to primary school 122 (58.1%) were two times more likely to be resistant when compared to those 14 (6.7%) who studied up to higher education (OR = 2.69; 95% CI = 1.31-5.48; p = 0.012). Women who had first-degree relatives with breast cancer 153 (72.9%) were three times more likely to be resistant. Conclusions: The findings show the need for investments in educational practices with a view to public awareness and professionals' training to disseminate information regarding tests used in practice directed to women's health.

Study in order to know the results of prenatal care related to clinical complications of pregnancy, newborn's low birth weight and prematurity in the context of the users of the service. Descriptive, exploratory research with quantitative approach developed with 305 users who underwent prenatal care in primary care in the city of Mossoró-RN. The data collection occurred from the application of a validated questionnaire, the IPR-Prenatal index. The results indicate that over 50% of pregnant women had some type of complication during their pregnancy process, among intercurrent diseases in pregnancy, and experienced by users, the urinary tract infection was the most prevalent (28.0%), followed by anemia (19.3%) and hypertension (15.7%). Hypertension and anemia were the only events that interfere with the newborn's weight, which showed that the existence of complications contributes in three times to the occurrence of low birth weight. In this sense, the quality of prenatal care can minimize that type of complication.
