Analysis of scientific production on evaluation, in the context of family health, in Brazilian journals

This study aims to analyze the bibliography related to the assessment in the context of the Family Health Strategy, in Brazil, in Collective Health journals, from 2003 to 2012. The analysis has concentrated on the identification of authors, 'year of publication', 'institution of the first author', 'place', 'used method', 'conceptual landmark' and 'group of studies'. The documentary Corpus counted on 20 complete articles that have demonstrated intensification in the production of studies in the evaluation area. In the methodological approaches quantitative studies had prevailed, with diversity of conceptual landmarks. Therefore, measurements about the impact of the ESF actions are essential in the improvement of the quality of evaluation and the ESF itself, in the collective health context.

本研究旨在分析2003年至2012年间，巴西家庭健康策略（Family Health Strategy）语境下相关评估研究的文献，发表载体为集体健康（Collective Health）领域期刊。本次分析聚焦于识别相关文献的作者、发表年份、第一作者所属机构、研究开展地、所用研究方法、概念框架以及研究类别。本次分析的文献库共计收录20篇完整学术论文，结果显示评估领域的研究产出呈增长态势。在方法论取向上，定量研究占据主导地位，且相关研究的概念框架呈现多样化特征。因此，在集体健康语境下，对家庭健康策略（ESF）各项举措的影响进行评估，对于提升评估工作质量以及家庭健康策略本身的发展至关重要。
