- The study aimed to evaluate the performance of Primary Health Care (PHC) based on nurses' and physicians' perspectives, focusing on its attributes.
- A scoping review was conducted using the PCATool-Brazil instrument across various databases, ultimately including 19 studies from multiple Brazilian states published between 2012 and 2022.
- Results indicated that PHC performance ratings were generally good (6.5 to 8.2), with accessibility being the weakest attribute while family orientation performed the best, suggesting further improvements are needed in access to health services.
