FAMILY ASSESSMENT TOOLS APPLIED ON CLINICAL PRACTICE: A CASE REPORT

Introdução e Objetivo: Family Health Strategy (FHS) is a political priority for primary health care in Brazil, with a history of improvement in population health level, centralized on the families. We demonstrate how to apply some of the most important family assessment tools, presenting a family of our community at Paquetá Island, and how they turn our work easier. This family is registered to the FHS of Paquetá, which is one of the Family Clinics from the Municipal Health Secretary in the City of Rio de Janeiro. Método: We’ve got a registered family, chosen by the health team, and subjected to analysis by FIRO and PRACTICE tools, ECOMAP and GENOGRAM. Resultados e Conclusões: By applying these technologies, a doctor and a nurse can watch a family from a different view, providing a more precise and harmonic approach, enabling the health team to offer help to the family on its most critical moments.
