“…Maternal (caretaker) satisfaction is considered one of the most frequently used proxy indicators to measure the quality and efficiency of childhood vaccination services [ 11 ]. Accordingly, poor quality of childhood vaccination services is a major cause of morbidity and mortality of children due to vaccine-preventable diseases in developing countries[ 15 ] This can also cause a reduction in productivity, educational achievements, and economic growth [ 16 ]. A low level of maternal satisfaction with the quality of vaccination services may also enhance the self-medication of children using antibiotics associated with childhood illness among non-vaccinated children [ 12 ].…”

Background Vaccination is one of the most important public health interventions to reduce child mortality and morbidity. In Ethiopia, about 472,000 children die each year by vaccine-preventable diseases. A satisfied mother is assumed to use the services and complies with the service provider for better health care outcomes. However, there was no adequate evidence regarding maternal satisfaction with quality of childhood vaccination services. This study aimed to assess maternal satisfaction on quality of childhood vaccination services and its associated factors at public health centers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 12 July to 12 August 2021 at public health centers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A total of 366 mothers (caretakers) of under one-year-old children participated in the study. A systematic sampling technique with an interviewer-administered questionnaire and inventory checklist were used to collect the data. A binary logistic regression model was fitted. Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) and p-value < 0.05 were used to identify the factors associated with the outcome. Results Nearly two-thirds (61.2%) of mothers (caretakers) were satisfied with the quality of childhood vaccination services. Service providers’ greeting [AOR = 1.60; 95%CI: 1.37–1.99] and information about the types of vaccines [AOR = 1.54; 95%CI: 1.32–1.89] were positively associated with maternal satisfaction. On the contrary, long waiting time of mothers (caretakers) to receive services [AOR = 0.29; 95%CI: 0.14–0.62] was negatively associated with services. Conclusion The overall maternal satisfaction towards the quality of childhood vaccination services in this study was found to be low. Minimizing waiting time at the health facility, enhancing greetings and providing adequate information regarding childhood vaccination for mothers (caretakers) improved their satisfaction with the services.

“…Uma investigação na APS, com 403 pais e 62 profissionais de saúde, constatou que os pais percebiam a utilidade do Child Health Booklet, principalmente, como um lembrete para a vacinação (100%) e para monitorar o crescimento infantil (91,6%). Contudo, essa ferramenta era pouco reconhecida para o registro de saúde (17%), a verificação das etapas do desenvolvimento (4,7%), a comunicação com os profissionais de saúde (1,4%) e o incentivo para cuidar das crianças (1,4%) (18) .…”

“…Entretanto, pesquisas desenvolvidas em diferentes níveis de atenção à saúde no Brasil reforçaram a precariedade das orientações maternas sobre a Caderneta da Criança destinadas, apresentando valores entre 57,4% a 77,3% de mães que não receberam informações sobre a caderneta (29)(30) . Além disso, a escas-sa orientação dos pais pelos profissionais de saúde a respeito da ferramenta de acompanhamento da criança foi o principal motivo para o seu uso irregular (18) .…”

Objective: to understand the perception of health professionals and mothers about the Children's Handbook. Methods: qualitative study, developed in Family Health Units, with 25 professionals and 11 mothers of children under three years old by means of semi-structured interviews. The empirical material was submitted to Inductive Thematic Analysis and interpreted in the light of Symbolic Interactionism. Results: Child Health Handbook was seen as a multi-professional and intersectoral tool that allows continuity of care, guides the professional's conduct and the care of the child's family. However, it was still seen as a vaccination card. As for use, weaknesses were mentioned during home visits and in professionals' records. In addition, mothers only used it when they took the child to the health service. Conclusion: professionals and mothers presented distinct opinions about the Child Health Notebook. Some considered it as an extension of the medical record and others as a tool like the child's card, being used by specific professionals and at specific times. Contributions to practice: the data reveal meanings and perceptions of the health team and mothers about the Child's Health Handbook and its use, bringing contributions to the scientific knowledge on the subject.

“…Entretanto, em países como o Brasil, que compõem o sul geopolítico, as ações destinadas às crianças na APS, por vezes, limitam-se a acompanhar o crescimento -verificação e registro de peso e altura -e as ações de imunização (Abdulrahman et al, 2020;Elgibaly & Aziz, 2016;Schaik et al, 2014;Scherzer et al, 2012) e outras focadas na manutenção da sobrevivência e no controle de mortalidade (Reichert et al, 2016;Scherzer et al, 2012;Ertem et al, 2009).…”

ResumoIntrodução: Tradicionalmente, as ações de cuidado da infância na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) são orientadas por abordagens higienistas, eugênicas e biomédicas. Essas premissas também têm influenciado as ações de terapia ocupacional junto à infância nesse nível assistencial. O artigo reflete sobre a necessidade e as possibilidades de inserir as ações da terapia ocupacional em propostas que considerem o conceito de infância como norteador, uma vez que o mesmo é complexo, histórico, sociocultural e estrutural na sociedade. Objetivo: Compreender a natureza das ações de terapia ocupacional desenvolvidas pelo Laboratório de Estudos em Reabilitação e Tecnologia Assistiva – REATA – da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, na APS, voltadas à infância. Método: Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter exploratório analítico, que utilizou, como fonte de dados documental, os registros produzidos pelo Laboratório REATA, entre os anos de 2008 e 2020, cujos conteúdos foram analisados à luz do conceito de infância. Resultados e discussão: Implementou-se ações de terapia ocupacional na UBS de formação continuada, matriciamento, atendimentos individuais, em grupo, e intersetoriais, por 12 anos. Dentre as 150 crianças atendidas, apenas 12 foram encaminhadas a outros serviços, explicitando a resolutividade da APS. Muitos desafios foram encontrados na construção das ações voltadas às crianças e suas famílias, além da ressignificação das ações de terapia ocupacional, em direção à superação da ideia do déficit e da correção dos corpos, na direção da observação da infância e do lúdico. Conclusão: Ainda é necessário desconstruir um ideário de reabilitação médico-centrado e hospitalocêntrico vigente na APS.Palavras-chave: Terapia Ocupacional. Atenção Primária à saúde.

These assumptions have also influenced occupational therapy actions with children at this care level. This article reflects on the need and possibilities of inserting occupational therapy actions in proposals that consider the concept of childhood as a guide, since it is complex, historical, socio-cultural and structural in society. Objective: Understanding the nature of occupational therapy actions developed by Laboratory of Studies in Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology – REATA – School of Medicine, University of São Paulo in PHC aimed at childhood. Method: This is a qualitative research, with an exploratory analytical character, which used as a source of documentary data the records produced by REATA Laboratory between 2008 and 2020, whose contents were analyzed in light of the concept of childhood. Results and discussion: Occupational therapy actions were implemented at the PHC service for continuing education, matrix support, individual, group and intersectorial care for 12 years. Among the 150 children assisted, only 12 were referred to other services, explaining the resolution of the PHC. Many challenges were found in the construction of actions aimed at children and their families, in addition to the redefinition of occupational therapy actions, concerning overcoming the idea of deficit and the correction of bodies, towards the observation of childhood and playfulness. Conclusion: It is still necessary to deconstruct the current medical-centered and hospital-centered rehabilitation ideals in PHC.Keywords: Occupational Therapy. Primary Health Care. Child Health. Childhood Welfare.ResumenIntroducción: Tradicionalmente, las acciones de atención a la infancia en la Atención Primaria de Salud (APS) se guían por enfoques higienistas, eugenésicos y biomédicos.
