to assess the operationalization of Primary Health Care in the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Primary Care Assessment Tool: PCATool-Brasil attributes, from physicians' and nurses' perspective.
a cross-sectional study, carried out with 99 physicians and nurses from Basic Health Units in a state in northeastern Brazil, with the aid of the adapted instrument PCATool-Brasil.
Essential Score was classified as high performance (6.6) and General Score as low performance (6.5). First Contact Access, Care Integration, and Community Guidance scores were <6.6. The best performances were attributed to the Longitudinality, Comprehensiveness and Family Guidance services (scores>6.6).
the attributes of Primary Health Care, in general, showed values above or close to the cut-off point in the assessment. These data can support strategies for local and national managers to strengthen Primary Health Care in the COVID-19 pandemic and future public health emergencies.
根据初级保健评估工具（PCATool-Brasil）的属性，从医生和护士的角度评估初级卫生保健在 COVID-19 大流行中的运作情况。
这是一项横断面研究，在巴西东北部的一个州的基层医疗单位招募了 99 名医生和护士，使用了经过改编的 PCATool-Brasil 工具。
基本得分被归类为高绩效（6.6），综合得分被归类为低绩效（6.5）。首次接触就诊、医疗服务整合和社区指导的得分均低于 6.6。表现最好的是纵向医疗服务、全面医疗服务和家庭指导服务（得分>6.6）。
初级卫生保健的属性总体上显示出评估中的得分高于或接近临界点。这些数据可以为地方和国家管理者提供支持，以加强 COVID-19 大流行期间和未来公共卫生紧急情况下的初级卫生保健。
