“…While recent studies suggest increased provider comfort in screening and counseling for obesity [27, 28], rates of obesity prevention and treatment activities in primary care remain low in many countries, including the USA Israel, Australia, and several European countries [25, 29, 30•, 3134]. Furthermore, primary care providers have expressed reservations about the effectiveness of provider-delivered obesity prevention and treatment strategies, citing concerns regarding the obesogenic environment, lack of parent motivation to make weight-related behavioral changes for themselves and their family, and low parent concern about child weight [16, 20, 22, 24, 27, 32, 3436]. …”

“…Possuir conhecimentos limitados sobre obesidade foi um tema destacado pelos enfermeiros nas pesquisas encontradas sobre a percepção desse profissional acerca de sua atuação frente à obesidade na APS (Isma et al, 2013;Blackburn et al, 2015). Ressalta-se que a falta de capacitação da equipe pode ser um dificultador no acolhimento às pessoas com obesidade, uma vez que é imprescindível que os profissionais de saúde da UBS estejam aptos e sensibilizados para captação e acolhimento eficientes dessa demanda (Brasil, 2014b (Minayo, 2015).…”

“…Em um município da região sudeste do Brasil, uma investigação que utilizou a antropometria na APS para o diagnóstico e acompanhamento do crescimento de crianças e adolescentes em parceria com o Nasf apontou que a ação realizada com 200 participantes, proporcionou a sensibilização dos pais ou responsáveis quanto à prevenção de agravos à saúde, levando-os a refletir sobre seus hábitos alimentares (Rosa, Sales, Andrade, 2017 (Matos et al, 2015). Também estudo realizado com 18 enfermeiros de APS na Suécia apontou que a deficiência de recursos físicos e a desorganização do serviço de saúde limitavam os participantes em sua atuação na prevenção do sobrepeso e obesidade infantil, resultando na concepção de que esta é uma tarefa difícil de ser desenvolvida pelos profissionais nesse nível de atenção à saúde (Isma et al, 2013).…”
