Health education actions are strategic actions aimed at health promotion. Moreover, better health education practices have been linked to comprehensive care developed by primary health services.
To understand the perception of mothers about the health education developed by the Primary Health Care (PHC) services.
We adopted a qualitative research approach, conducted using semi-structured interviews, and assuming, as the theoretical reference, the attributes derived from PHC. Pregnant women and mothers of children under 1 year old attended by Brazilian Family Health teams were included.
Eight pregnant women and twelve mothers of children under 1 year of age participated in the study. These mothers perceive educational actions as necessary only for primiparous mothers. They value the guidance of informal networks and maternity hospitals to the detriment of primary services, and they do not adhere to care that conflicts with their previous knowledge. The evidence shows that the educational actions of the primary health services do not adequately respond to the attributes of community orientation, family focus, and cultural competence.
It is necessary to modify the educational practices in order to incorporate and value the existing knowledge in the territory, thereby adapting the care guidelines to the local context.
健康教育行动是旨在促进健康的战略行动。此外，更好的健康教育实践与基层卫生服务所提供的综合护理有关。
了解母亲对基层医疗保健（PHC）服务开展的健康教育的看法。
我们采用了定性研究方法，通过半结构化访谈进行，并以 PHC 衍生的属性作为理论参考。研究对象包括由巴西家庭健康团队照顾的孕妇和 1 岁以下儿童的母亲。
8 名孕妇和 12 名 1 岁以下儿童的母亲参与了这项研究。这些母亲认为教育行动仅对初产妇的母亲是必要的。她们重视非正式网络和妇产科医院的指导，而不是基层服务，并且不会接受与她们先前知识相冲突的护理。研究结果表明，基层卫生服务的教育行动不能充分满足社区导向、家庭为中心和文化能力等属性。
有必要修改教育实践，以纳入和重视该地区现有的知识，从而使护理指南适应当地的情况。
