A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,246 adults and senior men and women in Pelotas (RS), Brasil to evaluate the negative self-perception of health among Primary Health Care users. The prevalence of negative self-perception of health was reported by 41.6% of respondents. Women, those who were unemployed, who reported a diagnosis of three or more chronic noncommunicable diseases, who were food insecure and did not engage in physical activity reported a higher proportion of negative self-perceived health. Users with at least higher education level and those whose households had four or more residents were less predisposed to the outcome. The high prevalence of negative self-perceived health in this population, as well as the associations found, indicate the need for a better understanding of the influence of these factors on the search for care and, consequently, on adherence to treatment.
在巴西南里奥格兰德州佩洛塔斯市，对1246名成年人以及老年男性和女性进行了一项横断面研究，以评估初级卫生保健使用者中对健康的负面自我认知情况。41.6%的受访者报告了对健康的负面自我认知患病率。女性、失业者、报告患有三种或更多慢性非传染性疾病的人、粮食不安全且不进行体育活动的人报告的负面自我健康认知比例更高。至少具有高等教育水平的使用者以及家庭中有四名或更多居民的使用者出现该结果的倾向较小。该人群中负面自我健康认知的高患病率以及所发现的关联表明，需要更好地了解这些因素对寻求医疗护理的影响，进而对治疗依从性的影响。
